Moody Experiment.
Some photos from a place you might already recognize, as there're many photos of it here. This time I tried to make something different out of the familiar views. After all, this is a landscape that probably is not scenic this time of the year. At least not for me, not in the usual sense. But of course there's a certain mood -- which might be something that comes out of myself, but I'm sure not without some stimulus, outside, it is really there, somehow. Can it be pictured? Can it be conveyed? How can you depict the actual first impression?
On a technical note: All done with old 50mm f/1.7 lens, all wide open, I used a Kenko nostaltone blue for diffusion and color shift. „Enhanced" in LR & PS.
Red and pinks aren't usually my color of choice, but I really like how this one turned out. Definitely my favorite of the experiments last night. I'll take what I learned from this one and expand on it with more layers and textures I think.
I take my practice where I can get it. I take advantage of my father-daughter time to practice and experiment with whatever art supplies are at hand. This is crayola washable paint, and colored sharpies on watercolor paper. Lessons learned: 1) washable paint is not that good for layering because it "washes" off :) 2) watercolor paper must usually be prepped by wetting, and stretching (it warped and buckled) 3) I need to use grown-up art supplies some time soon!
The subject was picked from one of my toon jellyfish sketches. Hope you like!

Sitting around patiently for around 4 hours tends to make you go a bit silly, which was fine by Chris. He doesn't mind getting silly night of the living dead shots.

De Brink binnen de wijk Betondorp
De wijk werd opgezet rond een centraal plein, Brink geheten, waar de belangrijkste straten op uitkomen.
De buurt werd gebouwd tussen 1923 en 1925 als Tuindorp Watergraafsmeer, maar doordat voor het eerst veel beton werd toegepast bij de bouw van de woningen, ging het in de volksmond al snel Betondorp heten. De buurt was bedoeld als experiment om de mogelijkheden te verkennen van de toepassing van beton in de volkshuisvesting, maar een tekort aan bakstenen door de vele woningbouw in Nederland en de oplopende prijzen van bakstenen speelden zeer zeker ook een rol.

Just trying out different woods to see what I like! Thats a big fluter sitting in the hole.
Thats my 2 1/2 yo. He throws temper tantrums when I give him dummy tools that dont work! So I made him some carving tools by flattening the ends square on the grinder and rounding off the corners - they work like scrapers with no danger of getting a cut!
