Through One's Eyes

Through One's Eyes

I have started this new thread for others to share and enjoy The World of Art. The title is a reflection on the many different views and ways of seeing art that is very subjective to the viewer.

Anyone can share a piece they have produced, are working on or would like to one day 'get around to doing'.

Many 'forumites' use art as a form of therapy or grounding/coping strategies - so please also share your experiences of these also.

It is also a place to discuss what people like, dislike are drawn to and the feelings ellicited from producing and viewing any pieces.

Feel free to add images or topics of discussion and enjoy the wonderful world that we can share through Art.

Re: Through One's Eyes

Exactly @outlander.

You can see in Chat Noir that he has used burnt orange in the background too. Have a look at a lot of his poster work, rather than his original style, and see what else he has done to balance the images and the bold colour backgrounds.

Picasso is another artist who's original work was very classic Impressionism in style, and he deliberately developed from that to wildly abstract, because there were things that he wanted his paintings to "say" ..... not just be a pretty image. It's interesting ..... for instance he made faces "flat" like opening out a cardboard box so you can see all it's flaps and joins ...... he put ears facing the front, and both eyes onto a profile image for example.

Art is a journey.

Re: Through One's Eyes

also also a quick note of what ive noticed off henry and his posters is that he either makes the centre figure or whatever the main thing is in the photo stand out is to either make the background really bright or a duller grey type colour such as the lady. she stands out cause of her red dress but creamy background
