Oils / Acrylics

 This is a marvellous example of the fluid and vigorous use of oil to convey movement and energy.   The beauty of the mediums and three primary colours is its inherent ability to create appropriate textural marks,  almost at its own will.

Pastels

 The work was chosen for its "grey tone" of colour and overall balance.   The artist has conveyed mood and feeling to this painting.   Structure and skin tone of the figure was very nice and shows a sound knowledge of tonal range in painting, warm and cool colour contrast with soft depict of the background has been used to give a feeling of depth.   Overall a very pleasant work.

Drawing

   This "portrait" drawing is a fine work and shows a good knowledge of the many elements necessary for a sound piece of work.   The overall tonal quality is very pleasant.   Attention to detail is good, without being overdone.

Photography

   The beautiful vibrant colours drew me to this image immediately and upon closer inspection I was compelled by what I saw.   I have seen many images from the American Slot Canyons, however this one is quite unique with the sand falling.
 
All elements work in perfect harmony, exposure, depth of field and sharpness, are spot on.
An exemplary image.
