11/5/18 Zoka Coffee (after increasing the contrast) |
The only benefit of turning the clocks back is that the early mornings
are a bit brighter again. Despite the overcast sky and promise of rain, a nice
light was coming in through the windows at Zoka Coffee.
The earlier version. |
What you see above is what I now consider to be the finished
sketch. The version at right, however, is the one I took home from Zoka. I thought
it was finished at the time, but after scanning it, I looked at the image on my
screen and realized that I needed to increase the value contrast between the
wall and the furniture. I used a cool gray to help differentiate the wall from
the furniture, too.
Looking at a photo or scan of a fresh sketch is often a helpful
way to see things like insufficient contrast. Something about putting it on a
screen seems to give me a more objective view.
Love the light you captured!
ReplyDeleteThe light bouncing on the furniture caught my eyes! Nice sketch, Tina.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joan and Ching! It's my favorite coffee shop for sketching because of those large windows that bring in a nice morning light.
