Critique #3 - The Blue Boy

The Blue Boy

Calligraphy Ink

Breathe and Quality

I had a sudden idea for this piece and ran into in. 

Possibly less noticeable, this Parody (VAL) is of  Thomas Gainsborough's The Blue Boy.

I also wanted to demonstrate the ability to use quick drying ink and show an Anatomical stance with the contraction and flexing of the gluteus maximus. Also demonstrating light as it lands across the body. I wanted to reference an arm on the right, without drawing it. Mainly, I wanted to show skills with a hard medium.

Critique #3 - The Man with the Pearl Earrings

The Man with the Pearl Earrings

Graphite / Silver and Gold Colored Pencils

Breathe

A parody (VAL) of the girl with the pearl earring, by Vermeer. As an inspiration for my work, Vermeer used perspective and common themes to comment on the social preference of the Netherlander Tradesmen. While I wish I could have done a black background, I feared it would remove detail from the beard and crown. 

Critique #3 - Pond Scum

To Be Determined

It's a contrast between the cool greens and blues to the yellows and orange. Also, there is a gray-white contrast in the back of the photo.

Critique #2

Divine Rose

Canon EOS Rebel T5i / Photoshop

I usually work with strong clarity, but I decided to play with the sharpness of the image, creating the blurry light on the roses.

I decided to try my normal process for high contrast on a more organic image.

Concentration

Since my concentration is based on high contrast images and this another image where this applies. I chose to depict the Frost Memorial Chaple at Mt. Berry College in northwest Georgia after my college visit to the largest campus in the world. When I was viewing the chapel, it was late afternoon, and I was wanting to view it on a somewhat cloudy morning, inspiring the edit of this image. The sun brings warm colors when it is rising and the cooler colors follow as the sun gets higher.

The iconic Rose window is viewed from the opposite angle; contrasting with the details of the iconic building and window with the sky behind, creating a post-note feel to this photograph.
