Second Effort Yields Bold Composition
Exaggeration and layout form pick of the picking
Two Pick 2 - digital painting - Dan Beck - 2006
This piece came as a direct result of not feeling like I had expressed myself fully about what I had seen. If you look at the yesterday’s article, you will see a digital painting and explanation of its origin.
What I was not able to express in the first piece, was how down in the row, these two strawberry pickers were. It isn’t that the berries and rows are so high - but bent over picking, they are really down in there - and particularly from this angle from the road - looking down the row.
This is exaggerated a tad - the rows are too wide, the people a little small … but when I look at this art print - the statement is striking and bold.
You know they are down in there, you know they are picking fast, and you know the field is vast.
