Sky/Sea

palms1 · #1 08-10-2007, 06:32 AM

I have noticed while surfing some art sites that they use the sky and the sea a lot, So i wondered if any one here was up to a sort of challenge to come up with a piece of art using either one or both subjects. In any style

I have posted some from my albums but dont feel you have to use them, use your own or stock ones, just post the originals alongside

And just incase you need inspiration have a look here there is loads of it

Here's a composite I assembled in February, Palms.

Thats a great composite Lonk, I love the seagull spend most of my holidays trying to get a good shot of one, but so far i havent got what i am after ! ! !

I mainly just messed with colours on these except for the second and used the ahb brush as well

Yeah, well an Oak just didn't seem to work, then I thought a Beach (oops sorry Beech) but that didn't go either, so what more appropriate than a Palm, [silken tongue mode]which goes so well with all things artistic[/silken tongue mode].

You better watch that tongue Gary bet it could get you into a bit of trouble

or out ! ! !

another go threw loads at it mainly ahb, and colour tweeking though.

Real estate description would be "waterfront property with a romantic view"

Gary Richardson · #11 08-11-2007, 11:31 AM

Nice one Pavel.

Watch out for that first step when you turn right out of the doorway, it's a doozy.

LonK · #12 08-11-2007, 12:53 PM

Palms, nice watercolor painterly. Pavel, awesome HDR type render.

Here's another monotone composite I did awhile back derived primarily from the color photo.

Nice image Lonnie, great capture of the surf.

Shame about the concrete breakwater structures in the foreground it kind of holds my eye, I think it would have worked better with a natural rock outcrop, but a nice dramatic treatment all the same.

Thank, Gary.

Oh and BTW, I like your palm tree rendition. Adding tree silhouettes is a great technique to add framing and depth to an otherwise stark open scenic.

Well I used one of yours Palms.
Not sure where I was going with this, I'm not sure I got there either.
Used all sorts of filters/blend modes and fades- just playing around.
