The chosen idea

Revised Version (Based on the Teacher's feedback)

Rationale

When I was thinking about how I am going to make this painting even more meaningful despite it’s already beautiful and meaningful causes me to a deep dilemma and stuck on that thought for days, there are some ideas that I came up with but it just won’t suit in with the art as it is already perfect itself. After some more time and some advices from my friends I decided to go with one of my idea which is to add some scattering dandelions and shaping them into a silhouette of a wing to the artist’s wife, this is to emphasize the angelic features that Madam Monet already have. Not only that I also changed the background from a shining afternoon into a calm and warm sunset to further emphasize the moment of the wife and child of the artist. Why didn’t I draw the faces? Well it is because of the background itself, since Madam Monet wore a some sort of veil and the child wore a hat so it will be natural if the artist could not see the face clearly as the shades covers the face. Such blissful and beautiful moment of a family of three.

Feedback

The teacher said that i should make the sketch on my own which basically means that i have to re-draw the whole painting as it was un-original and took out the meaning of the painting. The teacher was also very helpful and replied to my questions despite being on the weekend (Applause) 

Last week when i was consulting with the lecturer, he said that the gradation is good enough but the grey made it looked filthy and he said to change it into a graphic kind of color so, i changed it into pure sunset.
