These two, by contrast, are snippets from a black and white image of a climbing plant and I've tired to exploit the organic feel of things. I also changed the orientation from
...landscape ...
...to portrait ....
...which seems to give each a surprisingly different feel.
With all this, I feel I'm reaching back to graphic art roots from the course I took as part of teacher training years ago. Maybe it's telling me I need to return ....
PS For anyone interested, the course is Dionne Swift's Online Sketchbook course and details can be found here.
I think that the use of black and white is really effective, it enables the movement to become more apparent. Fantastic potential for stitch.
