In my last post I shared my Spring photopaintings, works in progress, of buds in a tree.
In this post, I wanted to write a bit more about the creation process in making these works.
I added different brush strokes and experimented with light effects. Enhancing the photograph digitally, gives it a painterly quality, moving towards abstraction. The limited color palette simplifies the image, allowing the viewer to focus on the buds and leaves, the texture and tonal qualities of the landscape.
I really like the simplicity in the monochrome images, allowing our eyes to focus on the buds against the textured background. The buds appear to reach out beyond the tree-line, highlighting the new growth ahead.
Here's the original photograph so that you can see how the photopainting has developed. If you can't see the image, you can check it out on my
blog.
