What a wonderful way of showing scale and grandeur, Armand! It's bee-yoo-tee-fool!
It's going to sound odd but what I love best is that patch of sunlight on the horizontal branch lying across the falls - and all the other little patches of sunlight that speckle the water and the branch the Masai is standing on. It is the absolute -perfect- heat shimmer-haze of botanicals and waterfalls seen through a humid, hot, hazy climate.
I sit next to Armand at work, and I can vouch for him. When he says this is a practice piece, I'm telling you he can knock out one of these over lunch!
I've been out of the loop for a while, so I have some catchin' up to do on the blogs. This piece is awesome!!!! Love the lighting and colors, not to mention the great haze mood you created. I can feel the humidity!
Thanks a lot guys. Yes I still practice whenever I get the time. We continue to learn for as long as we live and we could never say, "I've arrived." Have a great day to you all.
Wow! Nice work! Learned about your work from Marcello 's blog. And fellow Santa Claritan (If you can say that) to boot! http://jamesmartinstudio.blogspot.com/
This is another practice jungle piece for lighting snd composition using mid-ground elements for framing. Done in Photoshop.

I'm at a loss. I find it funny when you say "A practice sketch". I wish I could pump 'em out like that!
