Noticing Red

For a while now I've been taking part in some online art classes. They are a great way to keep contact with like minded creatives while we travel, and there are often exercises posted as a challenge.

Most of the images in this collage are from our trip over the last couple of months. The image below is for an exercise from one of our challenges and is called 'noticing red'...

Of course you could do it with any colour that may be standing out to you, or go back through your photos and see if a particular colour jumps out that you have photographed over a certain time period.

Red has been standing out to me, it's chilly here at present and red is so warming. When we've been out and about, I notice people going up to fireplaces and checking to see if they are on, I've noticed the red tones in the autumn leaves, something we don't have a lot of where we live as it is mostly evergreen.

And here's the same image converted to black and white, which one do you prefer?

Digital art is a fun thing to do and especially on a rainy day like today, a collage makes a nice memory jogger for a trip or something to frame to use in your house.
