Artist's Pactice

[PixelRabbit]

Went for a short drive today to pick up the money pit, errr I mean van at the shop today
Took these along the way. They both remind me of something you might find in an artists sketchbook.

Would love to hear your thoughts! Thanks for taking a look

lol Not getting tired of it is one of the perks of obsessive tendencies

I like both of them, the B&W one a little more.....the color image looks just a tad flat and not sure an inc in contrast would improve it or not ...try it and see

 

[PixelRabbit]

Thanks Mully
These ones with all colour (no sky) start out muddy and contrast tends to just enhance it. I tried a bit more contrast but it loses it's chalky/dusty/pastel feeling so dialed it back and let it be pastelish

 

[Frequency]

Yes; B&W is far better

 

[PixelRabbit]

Thanks Nandakumar it's my fav of the two also.
