I had rescued the moment by using my camera and in that way had found how to stop time and hold it. No one could take that image away from me because I owned it. Alice Sebold
Today after service, I decided to do a bit of practice with my brushes and colours, it been a while i explored hem. My focus was solely on colours on paper.
After going through my stuffs, I met with my lil sony camera which was covered with dust because i didn't use it in a while. I preferred shooting with phone. An idea struck me, so i decided to embark on a monochrone tour with my materials.
Monochrome with a touch of yellow will do.
As i sat on my stool to start working, i turned my music with the song walking away by Craig David and continuously nodded my head to the flow of the beats and wordings. The major colours was just black and yellow.
I made a quick sketch with my pencil. Then i began smearing the colours across the paper. I did use the wash technique for a greater part of the work, mostly for the background and a few other places.
After two hours of endless work, I was done. For the background i gave it a dripping effect with the black colour.
There are many photographers on this platform which if i start tagging, i might not able to exhaust the list. So this dedicated to all whaleshare photographers and even beyond.
People spot a big black lens, and they worry about what they're doing, or how their hair looks. Nobody see the person holding the camera....... Erica O'Rourke
Keep making the moments count, freeze the time when you feel like and create memorable photos.
