Turning Point

Definitely photography! Well, based on it then! As a short respite from trying to achieve a fine art effect, here's a very simple composite using photographs as a guide for the pen tool in Ps. Promise I won't post too many of these non-photographic photographs. Do you like the effect?

Don't beat yourself up for wanting to experiment. Did you intend for it to look like the guy's floating in clouds?

I chose clouds as the sea background looked a bit dull. You can order your print either way RG, it's an easy change. Just teasing, you might not want a print!

I think this has satisfied my appetite for primary colours for the time being
. How about clouds with a ripple texture (what's reality got to do with anything? ).Jul 21, 2017 15:56:53 #

. How about clouds with a ripple texture (what's reality got to do with anything? ).Well it should really be on a poster-like flat blue ground with a few vector-produced ripples I suppose but, like you, I may have had enough of those colours for now. Thanks for the input RG.

Love what you've done. Love the colors, composition, and whimsy!!!! If it were mine, I'd definitely print it.

Thank you Frank. Don't think you'll be seeing too many like this from me BUT, it's a first step in combining drawn with photographed, so eventually, used in a more subtle manner, the method may get incorporated into my composites. I'm thinking adding sails, or modifying a hull, that sort of thing.

Thanks Edie. Certainly had fun doing it. My reply to Frank explains how it came about and the use I hope to make of the method employed.

I love the colorful graphics, lines and shapes of the sails + the buoy. I see a man being impaled by the staff and floating on clouds, so I can't help but wish for a little dinghy in that section

I did think about giving the dinghy a bit more form to make it stand out against the background - but like your interpretation Linda!
