I knew I wanted to somehow incorporate the game rules with the marbles and decided to enlarge both and then superimpose them. Since I do not have any fancy editing programs, I do this by "hand" on the copier.
Once I had that all worked out, I traced the photos onto Arches 140 CP and was ready to begin painting.
A great idea, and very ambitious! Looking forward to seeing how you develop it.
ReplyDelete(Do you use a light box to trace?)
Wow, this one is going to keep you busy for a while! Terrific idea.
ReplyDeleteOh, it's going to be one of those very intricate paintings that you do so well. I am really looking forward to seeing progress photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks Vicki and Christiane.
ReplyDeleteLaura, nope - I blow up the photo and in this case cut it up, too, and then trace. Then I carefully go over the whole thing again with my photo in hand and re-draw or draw in lines and shapes - it's a "process" but I find it relaxing!
Oh my! All those marbles! While I agree is a great image, wow, its intricate. The detail freak side of me loves it, the impressionist side of me runs and hides. :)
ReplyDeleteIt will be fabulous, can't wait to see it emerge.
Ooooooooooh! I can't wait to see how it turns out!
ReplyDeleteJeanette - I know what you mean! But I enjoy all that detail.
ReplyDeleteKim - stay tuned!
Something to keep you busy on a cold, icy, snowy day! And here I thought you were finally admitting that you'd lost all your marbles! ha ha Have a good one - stay safe!
ReplyDeleteAll those marbles...looks intimidating to me!But I know you are great with detail and you will pull this off magnificently.
ReplyDeleteRhonda, maybe I HAVE lost my marbles!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Arti!
