Summer of Colour #3
This weeks colours for The Summer of Color are 2 purples and a yellow and this is what I did with them. Not my favorite colours so really racked my brain trying to think how I could use them and which bird to use. Decided to go with a juvenile Golden Eagle since I don't have any photos of a purple bird :p
I think I prefer the black background, the yellow seems to stand out more against it. Which do you prefer?

Definitely black, the white makes my eyes want to look away from it. (Too bright I guess?)
ReplyDeletethanks :) Yeah I think the white is probably too bright and messes with the eyes too much
DeleteI had some trouble with this week's colors too but you seem to have done a good job. I like the dark background best.
ReplyDeleteThank you :) another for black :)
DeleteTurned out nice :-) I also prefer the black background ;-)
ReplyDeletethank you :)
DeleteI agree with you - I like them both, but the yellow stands out more against the black background! What a wonderful work of art using this week's colors. Yes, they were hard for me to work with, too! HUGS!!
ReplyDeleteglad I am not the only one who found these colours difficult :) so 4 I think now for black :)
DeleteYep, definitely the black. Makes a lovely bold picture.
ReplyDeletethank you :) 5 for black
DeleteBeautiful work for SOC, Valerie
ReplyDeletethank you :)
DeleteNot my favourite colour combo too, but you have done fabulous job with this weeks colours...and I agree ...black background really makes the yellow and purples on your Golden Eagle pop!!
ReplyDelete6 for black :)
Deletethanks :)
yes, black... a wonderfully altered eagle!
ReplyDelete7 for black if I am counting correctly lol :)
Deletethank you :)
How cool do these colours work with the golden eagle... definitely the black... its more dramatic!
ReplyDeletethanks, I wasn't sure if the colours would work, but they do look ok on the bird :) glows in the thumbnail I made for a listing :) 8 for black :)
DeleteGreat use of the colours for this week! And yes, the black background fits much better somehow!
ReplyDeletethank you :) 9 votes for black :)
DeleteNo purple birds over there in Scotland? Haha. Love the black, too - love the drama. Good choice for your color challenge.
ReplyDelete10 for black :) maybe someone has tried to dye one of the gulls purple somewhere, you never know :)
DeleteI love your eagle! Ulrike
ReplyDeleteDefinitely black it makes the purples and yellow pop. x
ReplyDelete11 for black :)
DeleteThe black is great. Interesting exercise in using color.
ReplyDelete12 for the black :)
DeleteI like both backgrounds and why don't we have purple birds in Scotland?? Hmm, there is a wee bit of purple on a Mallard duck, I suppose...
ReplyDeleteAnyway, back to the subject in hand, I love what you have done for this week, it would make a good screen print, I think!
didn't think of the mallard, have lots of photos of them I could have used :)
Deletea screen print is one of the things I don't actually have in the pile of art supplies. maybe next uni year, think we have modules we can choose from and one is printing
Love the colors on the black!
ReplyDeleteGod bless,

the black is very striking with these colors-nice! SOC #54
ReplyDeletethank you :) 15 for black
DeleteThat color combination was tough for me as well. Your eagle turned out fantastic! The black background gives a bit more drama than the white one.
ReplyDeleteI had lots and lots of trouble with this week's colors. I ended up with mud more times than I cared to admit. Your bird, which POPS on the black background, is truly lovely. I was super impressed with your entry.
ReplyDeleteThe dark background for sure. What a beautiful creation!
ReplyDeleteLove your golden eagle Jennifer... works so beautifully with the purple... and really pops with the dark background... gorgeous work...

great matching of such an imposing bird with the regal purples and gold and I too prefer the black background
ReplyDeletegorgeous!
ReplyDeletexo
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, I like the black background best. It brings out the eagle's eye (and personality), I think. Great job!
ReplyDeletevery nice! I do prefer the black background here!
ReplyDeleteBlack works really well and makes the colours pop. You did a great job with this weeks colours. I struggles with them as they're really not my favourite combination. Anita - Itsamistry Design Studio #82
ReplyDeleteYes, black background works better. Very effetive overall.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely black! (I thought that the second one looked better and hadn't even realized that the background was different until I read the text.) Great idea to use the strong yellow on a _golden_ eagle.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful

ReplyDeletethank you everyone for the lovely comment :D black background it is then :)
