"Rain is something... scary"This is a citra-solv transfer of a picture I took just before a storm. There is a very foreboding cloud right behind the tree. The dark colors of the cloud transfered red-ish and I worked back into it with water color and watercolor pencil. I'm considering two black and white citra solv transfers on the sides to add to the "scary" effect.
When I first looked at this picture, I saw it as borderline scary/creepy. The composition and color choices definitely portray the idea of rain be scary- you made some really strong choices. The way that the red cloud contrasts with the white grass shape works really well. I like the idea of the black/white citra solv transfers on the sides- what pictures would you use?
ReplyDeleteYou definitely hit the spot with how it looks foreboding. I really like the black outlines of the trees. I think your idea of adding more pictures will really be effective.
ReplyDeleteMarion- The image is much more engaging now that you have worked back into it. I would recommend at this point that you consider using ink or Sharpie to draw back in and pull the tree in front of the sky a bit more so that the sky is not overlapping on the top of the trees. I also like Katharina's idea to use regular prismacolors to intensify certain areas and to continue to push contrast. Kelly emphasized this as well in her critique. Finally, Johnny had a good idea to focus on the theme of precipitation and consider design structures to show precipitation.
ReplyDeleteSo - focus on your one word...rain, weather, precipitation, atmospheric conditions...?
And, then based on your one word- what is your topic sentence to describe your focus or investigation?
You have a good foundation to work from now and I think you will feel more confident as you create each piece. Remember art = time!
This looks totally different in person but I like it. The colors are also different... I can see you're trying new things. I don't know if rain is part of this one or not but it looks good! You're definitely working hard and redoing each one well.
