Kim C Pelletier s...December 2010 Challenge - Pearls<br />Kim C Pelletier said...<br /><br /> I can’t draw with pastels to save my life and it always amaze me to see artists achieving that kind of accuracy with the medium. I feel perhaps that the artwork could use a little bit more contrasting values, but who am I to say given that I don’t know the medium, its possibilities and limitations too well.<br /><br /> Interesting that not only did you added your own touch to the composition with more shells and spreading the pearls, but you also chose a horizontal composition rather than vertical like the reference photo. I think that brings a completely different dynamic to the artwork; a soothing sense of silence and calmness that doesn’t exist in the reference photo.<br /> December 31, 2010 10:57 AM <br />syls said...<br /><br /> Hi Kim,<br /> Yes you are right ,there are not enough tonal values,trouble is i finish a piece ,and think it is fine.I need someone at my elbow to say more contrasts !more darks!However - "if at first you don't succeed try,try,try again." With all these great challenges it certainly something i intend to do.<br /> Happy new painting year.SylsSylshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10953878265013428227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2307419732792272926.post-13054038817359224422010-11-25T11:16:26.009+00:002010-11-25T11:16:26.009+00:00Orange and Red Rose
