Saud, nice perspective. +rep for sharing.
And Ibbi, for you:
How is the background dominant? technique-wise?
The technique and the colours. Deep dark night. It gives the impression that you can travel further into it.
Good. Cuz I felt that the red would be too sharp on those urbane, smooth metallic gradients.
Oh and sharp and smooth do make a good combination. Actually, they make a perfect combination. But that doesn't mean sharp and sharp won't do. You know, it's Art. And till Art is
You, Art is never wrong.
But by sharp here I meant there doesn't seem to be a 'jump' in colour or technique from your foreground to the background. Like see, in the blue pic, there's nothing that relates the dark blue and green with the shiny yellow and crimson red. That is a sharp contrast. On a spectrum of rainbow colours, these two are well apart.
Harmony can be in the way you arrange your main objects, or in your selection of colours.
You know, the first thing I learned in an Art class is that everyone can draw, paint, or strike out lines, but no one can do it the way
you do. It's all a journey into self-discovery. You need to keep on travelling further and discover the things that
you can do, not necessarily better, but in a way that no one else can.
You may be wondering why this lecture... You said you never attended an art lesson, I'm telling you that art requires no lesson.
