Why are these successful?
Because I stopped using thinners I no longer have the mercy grey patches that were ruining this image. I also think that I finally got the tonal balance right so that the figure is clear but sill a part of the setting. I also think black and blue is a strong colour scheme and it works well with the subject. Could I try using just ink like this for some of my other settings? - the bridge?
I think that this image works well because of the level of simplicity. It works really well to unite my more complex settings with my objects (because like the objects it i a vignette). Using masking fluid on the facade of the house worked really well to stop me overworking it. I am going to use it again in my painting go the bush because in my last attempt there was too much going on.
I LOVE the addition of the creepy oversized hand and its subtle suggestion of presence. I think that it is almost a more sophisticated way of suggesting presence than placing whole figures in my compositions. I am definitely going to start bringing more objects and body parts into my other images.
