Cobalt Blue's
'Best Of The Day' for Dec 29, 2024.

The colors, texture and composition made a powerful impact on me.  Smooth, clean, solid, airbrushed paintings have a special place in my heart.

But something else is going on. The scene is calm, even peaceful, but the composition is very dynamic.

The mood created by the color/value is both calm but intriguing.

The image is split in two.  The subject taking up most of the right side and the setting taking up a thin slice on the left.

The eye flows round the focal points without ever leaving image. And there is something going on in the center of interest.
Let's dig in...


GENRE               
Storybook Illustration

TECHNIQUE           
Airbrushed gouache painting

STYLE               
Illustrative,  Representational realism

COLOR SCHEME        
Triple Complementary:   Blue-Orange  Violet-Yellow  and a tiny bit of Green-Red   Only blue and Yellow are dominant

VALUE SCHEME        
Mid-range, Dark

TEXTURE             
Soft clouds, wet water, solid materials

DEPTH OF FIELD
Foreground = Buildings, boats,water.  Mid-ground = River, left bank and clouds.  Background = sky and Moon.

CENTER OF INTEREST  
The buildings, boats and wharf shaped kinda like a bow tie - two arrowheads pointed at each other and overlapped in the center.
the one pointing left ends at the Vanishing Point. And the right point ends at the very edge of the boarder.

FOCAL POINTS        
The moon,  two houses on the right,  front dock and the closest boat


VECTORS             
Vectors lead the eye from one focal point to the next.
Note how your own eye moves when looking at the FPs.
now think about the Vanishing Point.

Not the Moon.  It's where the river meets the horizon. Ok, so it's hidden behind the last building - but it is there.  The mind knows it.  The art says it.  the left brain concentrates on the details of composition while the right brain at the same time steps back to ponder the full story.

STORY
The story  hides itself just behind those closed doors. The usual questions are Who What Why.  But there is also the river that goes from the foreground seaward to the vanishing point.  This super strong river vector sends the mind off on a boat trip while still keeping the eye in the center of the story.  The questions multiply and the view wants more.
