Washes handled clearly; innovative blends and mixes; smooth and textured applications effected well; All small shape practices showed excellent control of wet and dry mixes and good personal interpretations.
B+ B or B-
Washes showed good learning experiences: some very well done and a few a bit muddy; texture practices could be a bit more modified so as not to dominate; Small practices were well done but more textural drawing could have been employed in backgrounds.
C+ or C
Washes seemed too plain--not enough attempts at textural implementation; Some small practices were better and did show applications of some various techniques.
Black washes very strong with rich dark/light contrasts; Summary drawing well varied in techniques applied; excellent color overlays; exciting subject matter.
B+ B or B-
Black washes handled well; initial washes must be kept lighter so overlays have oppportunities for more contrasts; Summary drawing mostly painted well; need to blend water more quickly; avoid "halo" effect around individual objects which show that the background was not completely painted first.
C+ or C
Black washes had too little differences; more overlays needed; Summary drawing had good attempts; large background areas may show too much different color "puddling" that could have been more smoothly rendered.
