"Rain is something...Beautiful"I love the details of the drops on the window and decided not to do a citra-solv. The detail of the individual drops was lost in the transfer so I started over with jut a print out, then went back and added color to some of the drops to make the picture more interesting.
This is beautiful Marion! The colors that you added work really well together, and there's a good balance between the colored rain drops and those that are left in their natural state of beauty. When I looked closer, I thought I could see faces in the some of the drops (I sound crazy haha)- you should add your own face (a really tiny one!) to one of the drops in a really discrete way... it'd be like, "Where's Waldo?" except it'd be, "Where's Marion's face?" or something like that... I just ate a doughnut, so you can completely disregard that idea. Other than that though, this piece is really great.
ReplyDeleteI like Mo's idea of adding a portrait! I thought the same things when I looked at it. I half-expected to see macro images in the drops when I viewed the work ( see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macro_photography. Consider researching images of water taken with a macro lense...if you were thinking of design structures and could actually arrange drops of water and photograph them with a macro lense (I have a macro lense and you could borrow my camera...) - consider that you could start the concentration with landscape images or otherwise and then move to very close up images as the concentration develops? This would be if you chose to drop the concept of rain/emotion from your work and went with "12 ways to show rain."
ReplyDeleteI love this piece. The colors are great. I especially like the contrast between them and the black and white. I also agree with Mrs. Danahy-implenting what she described would be very cool and would take your work to the next level.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE THIS ONE. The image is great. Like i said in the critique i think it'd be cool if you cut it up and abstracted it some. Maybe do an acrylic lift on top.
