Visual Language - Viewpoint and Depth

I had quite a lot of fun with this three elements task. Approaching this task i created some roughs which eloped me visualise the best composition. - however i feel that i could have spent more time on these - perhaps adding colour to be more prepared. 






I recently have really enjoyed working with shape and textured paint. So decided to continue with its use. -I applied damp sponges, and dry brush to create some interesting textures. I daubed the paint which i used for the sea background as well as the shark and diver; working from light to dark giving a graduated effect. - building up to darker tones. For the coral reef i used a combination of dry brush and sponge, to add a different contrast of texture to the rest of the image. overall I am quite pleased with how the colour and texture tuned out.


feedback on my initial final composition. - on reviewing my own work, and taking feedback from the session, i feel that the image is too balanced. - the sizes of the objects are too similar so not creating a strong sense of depth. - i need to be braver! taking up more of the frame.
i was really glad that i decided to create the three elements separately  as it gave me this freedom to go back and play around with size and composition.



Played around with the scale and repositioning the elements, - exaggerating proportions.


- Final image. i feel that this is a lot more successful. the dramatic difference in size creates a stronger sense of depth. i like how the shark is partly out of the frame, also the positioning draws the viewers eye to the small diver in the back ground.
- I also realised that the background probably counted as one element, and so got rid of the coral. I think this simplistic arrangement works better, there is less distraction away from the diver and shark.
