So I'm taking a workshop with Robh Ruppel this Saturday at CDA. So I was looking at his work and thought about what Michlap said about simplifying an graphic shapes. He has an excercise where students just do the graphic shapes of things...a portrait, a frame from a movie, etc. Very interesting excercise because it forces you to think about grouping, which is an integral part of painting. So last night while arguing with people on Facebook (yes, I can be a troll from time to time lol), I also thought about doing some graphic studies to strengthen my composition skills. I took a friend's photo shoot image and did the graphic overlay. It's a fun exercise and especially in colour it helps you to think about value...picking the right colours in juxtaposition so that the shapes work together. Thank you Lindsay :)
