"Leave out but never add in". I forget where I once read or heard that advice but I had to apply it to this scene as these guys had a lot more pots and pans in their "Drum Kit". By leaving out a few of them it simplified the image making it less confusing and a little easier to paint.

You portray everyday life in such a happy way,Mike!And oh,I wished that could follow that decree of "leave out but never add in"! I need control over too much detail! My work gets so illustrative and my ships are the worst!
ReplyDeleteNice work, Mr. Mike. And I agree with Marie, it is hard for me to simplify!
ReplyDeleteHi Mike,
ReplyDeleteThe repetition of the figures and grill/drum shapes gives this a very attractive rhythmic quality-and all done on such a small substrate.
Great work!

There is so much humor in this. I may have missed it the first time. I'm glad you took the time to leave some of the pots and pans out.
