For my blogging assignment I chose artist Taryn McMahon. She is a contemporary artist from Iowa City, IA. The reason I chose to discuss Taryn's work is because I admire the complexity and originality of her work. I also enjoyed her technicality and precision throughout her pieces.
The color choice was another aspect I enjoyed. The various hues allowed for interesting yet cohesive pieces. The placement of her pieces as well as the technique used was another aspect I found interesting. The watercolor technique was my favorite.
The transparent yet opaque droplets allowed for my eye to flow throughout the entire piece. With this said, Taryn successfully incorporated the background into the artwork itself.
Another aspect that I appreciated was the emotion that the work itself portrayed. Personally, I found the work relaxing. The droplet technique reminded me of rain which is something I find calming. Also the color choice allowed me to admire the work without becoming overwhelmed.
Finally, in my opinion her work was very successful. I admire her precision throughout her work and the overall idea. After looking at her work I will be sure to incorporate more layers into my pieces, especially with regard to color and line. One piece in particular that demonstrated this layering is the piece shown below. The overall use of color is unique yet tasteful. This process allows for an interesting composition.
