THE POWER OF WHITE 2.
Unlike Friday’s post, today’s inverted examples of the 2 drawings featured show promise in their ‘opposite’ form.
There is a distinct luminous quality to both inverted copies. It seems that it is night time! They could be considered candidates for scratchboard drawings.
The whites are ‘whiter’ and the blacks, ‘blacker’.
Ah, the joys of having a computer!

Agree scatchboard would work really well for these as would etchings. The bottom one particularly has quite a haunting night feel and yet the original drawing shows the delapidated nature of a weary shed but not its “haunted past”. It is interesting that as the viewer I read the “purpose” of, or story behind, the images differently.
Really good subjects for this reversal exploration.

Maybe Evelyn, I should in future think in reverse mode!

But I really like the original drawings too. (Would not mind reversing the body clock just a tad!)

Wouldn’t we all, Evelyn. The problem is that artists need time and experience to get to a stage where their work reflects the way they are thinking.
