I started this one some time back, but abandoned it as I could see it wasn't really working that well. It was suggested that I crop it, I liked the bottom left corner (thanks Pauline). After thinking about it for awhile, that's what I did. I decided where I wanted the image to finish and this is it. I am putting up the first attempt to show why I didn't like it and then the cropped image.
I used coloured pencil dissolved with a low odour solvent (Pauline's method) on a yellow pastelmat.
The first one is approximately A3 in size the final is cropped down to 11" x 6.5".
That's lovely Bev, what a difference. It has far more impact now.
ReplyDeleteAll thanks to you Pauline :-)
ReplyDeleteLovely landscape, Bev, it has good depth and a really nice summery feel to it! I know that feeling when you know it isn't right ~ mind you, I liked your original composition and think that would have worked well too ! (But then, what do I know!).
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have picked up the solvent bug too, hehe, and used it to really good effect :)
