This week I’m going to start with one of the finished art prints and the capture that inspired it. Next, using the same subject matter, but slightly different framing of it and the resulting three different prints and the original capture that inspired them.
The first one is titled The Pavilion By The River Sketched. The setting in all of the following examples is a natural reserve along the Rogue River in Rockford, Michigan.
Next is the photographic capture that inspired the sketched print in color.
For the sketched version, I liked the idea of including the lamppost in the final sketch.
The next three art prints were inspired by another photo of the same subject. I like the way it centered the entrance bridge. In the first one, I used a gothic painting technique which focused on the earth tones of the setting and the general appearance of the structure. This creates an overall look without all of the details of the setting.
When I see a lot of detail in one of my captures, I always explore what it looks like as a black and white photograph. I liked the way this approach highlights all of the detail of the pavilion and the natural surroundings (the photographs were taken during the winter months – thus the detail of the leafless tree branches).
This approach then inspired me to create the same view in a sketched black and white art print.
And then finally the original capture that inspired this series.
Thoughts? As I have said before, everyone reacts to visual art techniques and looks differently, so I am not in the least offended by opinions.
