//////Composition #5 is entitled country Kid. I love the feeling of warmth in the photo. The young child grasps the chicken with her chubby hands. I would want to capture this feeling of warmth. I've decided not to use the normal, let's say, usual composition but to position the child on the far left of the picture plane in order to make the chicken the center of attention. I'm doing a mosaic using parts of other paintings. (watercolor). I'll show you when I get done!

Composition #6… Continue

My third photo is from the desert with a beautiful multi-armed Saguaro as the focus point. At first I saw again the cross formula with the cactus as the perpendicular and the rocks as the longitudinal. Also the middle rock leads me to another formula called the balance-scale formula where you have a dominant center of interest with similar masses and shapes distributed somewhat equally on both sides. And then I saw the diagonal formula and I could see the lines very plainly.!

With color… Continue

Salem is a terrific place to visit too; as are Concord and Lexington!! Unfortunately for me, I will be in New Jersey for most of September...not my favorite place!

I really like your water colours. And I was also impressed with your drawing story board of the people on the beach painting.

At 14:50 on November 3, 2013, Karen Meredith said…: Thank you for your welcome! No, I've not heard of Sterling but just checked his Website and see he is now in NC. Beautiful work!

At 12:01 on October 15, 2013, Ningning Li said…: Walda, I am very glad to be your friend. Thank you for invite me. About the autumn tree and water photo, you can use it to paint for gift or for sell. I wish you good luck. I am painting it now and found something that I want to share with you. The ratio can be changed to make the foreground more space. That is Michael's idea and I like it. As the trees are very near, have to put some details of leaves. I did not start smartly. As it was difficult to get the shapes of the leaves, I ghrabed my knife to do it . As I have never done anything with knife, it looks very aggressive. And I have no choice but use knife to do the trunks and leaves on the ground. I have not finish yet, but will upload what it looks like for your refference, This may help you avoid my mistakes.
