I found the bowl about the house. The black background is a tee shirt. The white surface is a foot square piece of marble tile I picked up at Home Depot this afternoon. The cherries were all I had left after last night's devouring.
Edit: A couple of hours later, after another shoot and bit of cropping... No cleanup processing here as I'm just looking at composition.
hi john, been away for awhile... i like the cherry compositions. i can really see it as a painting-nice shadows(warm) which will be nice on the cool grey marble. hope all is well. dorothy
ReplyDeleteHey Dorothy,
ReplyDeleteI am trying to pull in some Old Masters design principles from our workshop--massing, lost/found edges, light/mid/dark areas, limited saturated color...
ooh! I like this one too! Still loving those stems; I like how you have positioned them to be looking inward, bringing the focal point ever so subtly to the center of the composition-almost all of them, that is except for the little rebel on the far right- I particularly like him! :-)

Wow! You know, I never noticed that until you mentioned! I did position each one purposefully... but never consciously.
ReplyDeleteI feel so relieved to have something to work on! I just need to finalize the composition and then make a transfer. It's going to be a fun night!
I have to say this looks amazing on my brand new I pad! It makes me want to pick up my paints too, so I can imagine how you feel.
ReplyDeleteA new iPad? Nice, Judith! There is going to be a lecture/demo on using the iPad with botanical art coming up at the ASBA conference in October. I am scheduled to attend and if I don't have an iPad by them, something tells me that I will soon after!
ReplyDeleteI'm learning something new every day!
