Finished! Had a bit of a struggle deciding on a background, but I'm satisfied. I wanted the focus to be the relationship between the baby and the book he's reading.

One more thing. I know we've been talking about the difference between what we see on screen vs. real life, but there's also a difference in devices. I took photos of this on my phone and again on a higher end digital camera. Interestingly enough, one has an orange color cast and less color saturation. There are also differences in the value and vibrancy ranges. Another reason to see art in person vs. on screens.
Well, this is delightful! At first I thought that light brown wash across the background was a baseboard and I wondered why it didn’t continue on the other side. But now I see it’s very effective compositional device: it brings your eye right to his face and makes it stop there! So clever! Photo wise, I’m assuming the digital camera gave you better results?
ReplyDeleteYou bravely sized the baby’s head as it is in real life. I really like this…you can do a series as child gets older.
