I don't think any of us has had time to do every single assignment so really no pressure. Do what you can when it inspires you and soaking up all the tips and videos is a good thing. You've probably absorbed much more than you even think you have. <br />This piece ... Oh my it's stunning!! And when you think about it you have also achieved two of your shape studies already along with the texture from this week. You have circles AND converging lines so there ... bet ya didn't even think about that eh? <br />I've studied this in photography already and it is an immeasurable help to creating balance in an image. We studied the old master painters in my camera club finding shapes in their paintings then onto the most famous photographers ... they're always there and you actually will start to go looking at all of your old work and see that all the images that feel comfortable have a balance of their shapes in them. Everything we see is to do with shapes using squares, triangles, rectangles and circles and converging lines. It's a matter of training your brain and eyes to see them. It's a great exercise overall. <br />So, don't be too hard on yourself ... it will all fall into place when it needs to. <br />Have a lovely weekend!<br />Joy xoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4980461930939884387.post-45203449115577461852012-08-30T20:15:29.686-07:002012-08-30T20:15:29.686-07:00hello lovely Bonnie....
