My component of repetition are the swirls in the background. I actually feel pretty proud of this piece. At first I was stuck how I could integrate a theme of repetition but also have it fit in with the theme of the painting but I got inspired by thinking of how smoke moves. At first I didn’t intend to do the swirls in soft pastel but once I put down the guidelines I was going to use for painting, I became inspired and continued to add on. I think this was a good experimentation with trying mixed media approaches and feel as though I grew and learned from this piece.
Bella the swirl repetition is so good! I like that you made the swirls over her face less opaque, it brings the piece together beautifully. Also, the design on her cheeks are very cool and i like that the subject isn't directly in the middle of the artwork because the viewers eyes can move from the smoke to her mouth instead of just looking at her. Good job!
