Here's a scan of my latest challenge: to make a collage of black and white. It seemed easy at first; the contrast of values is built right into the contrast of colors. But then I realized that form and composition also become a major factor. There's not much else to keep the eye interested. I'm very happy with how this turned out; a challenge that I gave myself after taking Laura's class. The birds photos are done in B & W, with one negative image. The tree roots also done in B & W--a photo from the river. The bluish circular photors are ones I took with my toilet paper tube experiment. And the cupcake photo is a B & W copy of a collage I did just for fun.
I think I want to title it Life Cycle.
I rather like this... I think I see some blue. I do enjoy working in black and white and have been challenged by color.
ReplyDeleteI like that peace comes on top of a cupcake!

ReplyDeleteVery nice. Feels very organic.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to do "white" lately. As soon as we are facing winter, I am thinking of "white". Very nice!
ReplyDeleteHi there Marge,
ReplyDeleteYou challenge is a great one!!! it is hard to do a monocromatic piece but it helps you later on when working with other colors how you use the darks and lights of any color.
