I tried to highlight the strong horizontal and vertical darks
in this busy composition (for me).
I'm not sure it works.
I want to crop out the guys with the drums.
They could be their own painting.
May just try that.....next.
Hey, I like the drummers the best. Something cool about the guys in the back row a-bangin' on the drum all day, mon. I vote for giving them their own show!
ReplyDeleteI like that you took a scene from the parade that was most likely not the most exciting moment but you made an exciting painting with your composition and application of color particularly in light and shadow. Great painting.
ReplyDeleteI like how you put the paint on as areas rather than drawing the figures.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting painting..what a challenge..you just keep going for them..really like this..drums are good..don't touch anything
