I recreated a Mark Rothko painting with a drawing tablet and medium-opacity colors to show my brushstrokes.
Creativity: I think you made a very solid outcome of trying to recreate the original painting in original perspective, closely working on specific styles and details.
Execution: I liked how you managed to use a drawing tablet in order to recreate the work as similarly as possible. The uncolored portions, some double or triple layers of painting, the overall impression is very much alike, compared to the original painting.
Context: Also, I think you did a good job of not choosing rectangles, and trying to replicate the original concept of the artist: imperfection. The deliberately created imperfection does more closely imitate the original work.
Documentation: Your explanation of the artist and the work is clear and easy to understand, and most importantly is very pertinent to your approach for your own work.
Creativity: 7/10 I thought this was a pretty accurate representation of the artwork. I kind of wish you had included more of an interpretation of the art personal to you, rather than simply recreating ; nonetheless it's pretty good.
Execution: 10/10 I like how you employed brush strokes and purposely included his imperfections in your artwork, and how the little imperfections on his don't exactly match yours (because that's impossible because two different people drew it). The original is a bit darker in feel, while yours has some brighter colors. Context: 9/10 I liked the background you gave on the original piece, including how it was made, with the details on the color order. It would be nice if you also included a historical background on the piece,
Documentation: I liked your reflection and your thinking process. It was very clearly written and easily understandable, as well as being pertinent to the piece.
Creativity: 10/10 I loved your reinterpretation of the work into a digital context. The title is also funny and original: to me "B, R, and G" pulls from a decidedly digital lexicon like what you would find in Photoshop.
Execution: 8/10 A fairly faithful recreation of the original artist's techniques but in a digital context. I find it interesting how different the texture of the paintings look in a digital context vs the analog context of the original artist. I also find it interesting how quickly you can paint this digitally as opposed to in the analog realm.
Documentation: The reflection is surprisingly detailed for only 3 colored rectangles. I especially enjoyed your inspiration from internet memes (namely, Pepe the frog).
Interesting study on the original Rothko piece, and the research and process is thorough and well-documented.
