FYJ Week 10 - Mark making for composition

Week 10 of Find Your Joy and I wasn't feeling the joy. I do like the top two pieces, though. So it just goes to show that my true self keeps shining through, even when I'm frustrated with the pace of the course. Maybe I was exhausted? Normally I would do all 6 pieces in one session, but I only managed 4 over 2 days.  It was not that the concepts are difficult to grasp. It's just that I didn't feel the energy anymore! I'm looking at what I painted on week 1, and I'm not feeling like I have progressed. If anything, I think I'm going backwards. I was told that I would be excited in what we do for the last 2 weeks. Really? 10 weeks of very similar stuff, and then all is going to be amazing in the last 2 weeks? I feel the pacing of this course isn't for me. A bit late now. The free taster was a week and it was packed with content. But the full course had basically one concept per week. Maybe I wasn't feeling challenged enough? Will need to think about it when it's all done.

Each square comes from masking a full sheet into 6 sections with masking tape, then painting loosely all over. When each square is cut, then I responded to what was in front of me and explored how marks can create a mood or lead the eye.
