I want to try to enter a black and white juried show, but am having trouble picking a good idea! I think I REALLY like the power of color now!!
I was thinking about using this reference photo. It is not the one I did before, but was taken on the same day. I really never liked how the other one turned out - it was something about the composition. So this perspective is moved over a bit showing more of the sidewalk. I want it to be dark like this, but will also print out a lighter version so I can brighten the church at the end of the street a bit more. So here's a question - what would you pick for a focal point in this pic? The girl in the window? I tried to insert some people on the sidewalk and didn't like it at all.
It will be in all french grey colored pencils. Not sure of what color paper yet - it will have to be white, grey or black though to conform with the show rules.
If you think this is NOT a good reference for a b&w - let me know! Please.
