Arizona Purple

Posted Jun 23, 2007, 6:59:39 PM UTC

In this assignment I could only use two colors and black.  As you can see I chose yellow and purple.  My friends realy like this one. I even had an offer to buy the original.  Not bad. :)

If you care to crit go ahead.  I've never done this type of color pallet before. I made the file rather large so you can see my brush strokes.  I'd love to know if my perspective makes sense. I thought perhaps that I had lost a sense of foreground/middle and background.  Like it was mushed together....  Or perhaps  I am just me own worst critic! ;)

    I love this piece! You chose great colours, and you used them so well.
    I particularly love the shadows Smile

      Thank you very much! I've really been surprised by the wonderful comments I've received on this piece.

        You shouldn't be so surprised! It's a great piece Smile

    The only possible critique I could have it that the flow of this picture feels a little ridgid. It's a little difficult to explain- I'm not too good with scenery, but that's how it feels. Other than that, it's a pretty picture.

      Maybe it's the large amount of stone depicted. Thanks for the crit.

        Could be. IT's dominating, and I think the flow would work out more if it were zoomed out a bit ^^

          That's what I thought when I finished this painting. About the rocks dominating the image. The reference photograph was the same. Bright blue sky and a big brown and red rock. When I turned this in my instructor liked it - I was surprised.

            I'm not surprised, but some referance pictures aren't good to start off with. But in saying this, the mountain area is the subject and you can argue that it takes up enough room for that. Donno.

    The colors look great and yellow and purple harmonize very well here. I like the mood of the landscape.

    This looks really beautiful ^^ The mountains look very realistic. Yes
