“Come,” said the Wind to the Leaves one day.
"Come over the meadow and we will play.
Put on your dresses of red and gold.
For summer is gone and the days grow cold."

'An Autumn Greeting' by George Cooper

Franklin Booth Interpretive Color Study #4
6×9 in, c.a. 2021

I was drawn to the variety of texture from foreground to back. A high level of detail to less, along with a change in scale of objects depicted as the scene recedes. Framing is my own within the larger Booth illustration.

Franklin Booth Interpretive Color Study #3

I imagined this scene cold and fall like. This was my first attempt at being more subtle with overall color, and using high saturation at the focal point. Framing is my own within the larger Booth illustration.

I think I could have taken the atmospheric perspective further with soft edges. Attempted balance of colors vertically, and tension horizontally with the complementaries. I think I will revisit this one at some point.

Like many I'm enamored with Franklin Booth's pen and ink illustrations. They're such masterful examples of compositional design and value structure.

I liked the idea of using his black and white illustrative works for #InterpretiveColor studies in #watercolor. Having the composition and values taken care of would allow me to focus on color and general technique.

I'm really excited about this new book that arrived home today. Franklin Booth is someone I have discovered only over the last few years, but now I'll take a deeper dive into his work. I don't think we learned about him during my education.
