This is Now
Thid was one of my favorite projects from Make it Crafty when I was on the DT. So much so, I couldn't find the original. I must of sold it....but I don't think so because there are two MIC pieces I would never sell.
Anyway, I did not look at the one I did in 2014 until today as I write this post. I only knew I wanted to color it again and see if my coloring has improved or changed or stayed the same.
I attempted to give it a raining sky. I think I have improved on water, which, still remains one of my harder things to master in coloring. This piece vs the 2014 I think I did improve on the water and the lilly pads. I can tell I am not as heavy handed as I use to be. My photography skills are much improved and My color palletes are also improved....lol. I also noticed I didn't use the same colors! My greens were much darker as were my water colors. All in all it's just totally different now vs. then.
For me this was a fun excersise to do. I can still see where I need growth and how I grown as a colorist.
At this time I was on the Make It Craft DT. The challenge was Yellow and Blue for the easy and the hard was sun rays and water. At the time I remember this being difficult. So I thought about clouds and the colors the sky can have from the sun. I had made a larger image and messed up. I had to start over anyway so I printed the image smaller and layered on top of the larger one. I now longer had a mistake. Instead I had a pretty cool piece of art. Or so I thought I did.
I love the sky in this one but think about the water and how dark it is. But all in all comparing the Now and Then I am not sure my coloring style has changed much. Maybe you see a difference?
