I've been teaching a lot this year and it's been fun. I have a Mini Nature class coming up next Monday in N. Augusta, SC. I've had a lot of request for a bird pattern, so I've been working on creating one. One of the things I like to show my students, is how the background can change the whole mood of a piece.
These are a few of the different backgrounds I tried.
WHICH DO YOU LIKE BEST?
I have been tapped to join the Round the World Blog Hop. My post will be coming out Monday, Oct. 13. Come back and see what I have to say.

I like the second one. I think the neutral colors of the background really bring out the red of the cardinal. And I also like the complexity of the background. Funny...on recent blogpost, I showed a background with different foregrounds.
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting Regina, usually there are more choices for background.
DeleteVery effective demonstration and the moods are indeed very different. I favor the second one colour wise for the same reason as Regina.

DeleteThanks Hilary, the reason for this post is to show the moods and feeling of a work can change with the choice of different backgrounds.
ReplyDeleteI like the third one. Whenever I see a Cardinal in the winter it is a pleasant shock. That red, red body against the white snow, thus my choice.
ReplyDeleteNorma, I posted these on my Facebook page earlier this week. The Winter background was by far the favorite.
DeleteThe first one makes my heART sing. I gravitate towards work with bold color choices, especially the primaries.
ReplyDeleteI hear you Gwyned, I think all of these work.
DeleteI like the second one, but would make the branches darker that the cardinal is sitting on to bring them into the foreground.

DeleteThanks Chris, you are so right.
