FORESTS
This is one of those shots taken from the passenger seat of my car, driving down the highway at 60 miles an hour. Surprisingly the shot turned out okay, at least for the Sketchbook Project. I cut it in two to fit across the spread and then extended the lines and colors, with a little insert taken within one of the coast range forests.
This is a great spread, just love how you extended it and how the whole thing comes together.
ReplyDeleteI like this one because of the beautiful composition and because you added some abstract shapes on the left and bottom right.
ReplyDeleteThis is stunning! I love all of it.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Bren. I saw a sketchbook years ago in which a woman in Gig Harbor, WA used her landscape photos and extended them in a similar way. I’m glad I remembered it, but not so well that I’m exactly copying her.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments, Ghislaine and Jane. I enjoy your blogs, too.
oh this is wonderful!!!
ReplyDeletethis is really all around a great spread-the idea, the design elements, use of white space! Bravo & keep'em coming!
ReplyDeleteIt's really neat how you use your photos as a focal point and extend them with your art. Forests are a big part of the NW.
