RMweb Gold Alister_G Posted April 5, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 5, 2013 Andy, that's some wonderful painting, it catches the essence of a highland scene exactly. Very envious of your talents, I'll have to stick to photos for backscenes, I think. Brilliant, mate, keep on keeping on... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold Donw Posted April 5, 2013 RMweb Gold Share Posted April 5, 2013 When I see Andy's work it makes be think of Rolf Harris with his "can you see what it is yet" as suddenly it comes to life. You sir are an artist. You capture the essence with the minimum of effort. The rocks look a bit bluish to me but that could be the computer, my eyesight or they really are that colour, no matter they still look like rocks.

RMweb Premium Physicsman Posted April 5, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 5, 2013 Thank goodness most of my backscene is just blue sky and clouds! Excellent work, as usual, Andy. Jeff Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew P Posted April 6, 2013 Author Share Posted April 6, 2013 Hi all, I had another play with the back scene yesterday and changed it a bit so here are a couple of new pics, the main difference is the distant mountain range is more grey/blue, i.e.hazy and some snow on the caps. Again any input would be welcome. I will do a long shot later Bodgit 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

billyb_imp Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 The hills look great on the photos above But it seems a bit strange that you have all that snow in the foreground and non on the hills its usually the other way around Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Looking good Andy. For me I still think the near hills are a but too saturated (green) its surprising how wishy washy landscape colours need to get. I'm actually wondering whether to paint my own backscene for Millers Dale or get some photo ones made up of the actual location. Hmm decisions decisions.

RMweb Premium southern42 Posted April 6, 2013 RMweb Premium Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Hi Andy. My pennyworth. Though I'm only looking at your photos by what my pc renders, I'm quite happy with the ;saturated' green. Why? It throughs (oops) throws the distant hills/mountains further into the distance. Possibly think about that too. Looking great as usual. No. Stunning. Pollyverdi Edited April 6, 2013 by southern42 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmsforever Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Like the mountain in the background,perhaps the green could be toned down a fraction ,Sir Bodgit you are indeed an artist but dont chop one of your ears off!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly think about that too. Looking great as usual. No. Stunning. Pollyverdi Went east today and took note of the landscape along the north coast towards Chester. Some observations: How much you tone down your colour will depend on - time of day and year; direction, height and amount of sun; amount of haze; distance (first horizon within a mile or two or greater; how far away the second horizon is). So, no clear cut answer I'm afraid. May I suggest you look at some photos if you want to confirm/modify your first impressions? I'm sure your bodgit instinct will come up trumps. Pollyvision Edit. It may depend on how far north you are, too. Edited April 7, 2013 by southern42 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Polly, well I was looking at some photos of Rancoch Moor and around Tyndrum, with the sun behind the camera the valleys show up quite green and the trees almost BLACK, so I have gone for that sort of look. The reason I pulled the post that Duncan was refering to above was because I had to much rock in the foreground above the Station, the tree line will come down to the Station area and just rocks around the shore line and in the cuttings / embankments.

I wish I hadn't posted the pics until I was totally happy. Andy Hi Polly see reply above. Bodgit Ah, but then we wouldn't see the master craftsman in action. The process is often as enlightening as the finished article and we get to see how others think on different issues - and sometimes a lot of the time you get some useless enjoyable banter. :mosking: Hope we've not upset the Baron Bodgit, Artist Esq.
