Project 3 - Concept & Mood

1. What Appeals to You: The Signal Man has an exciting, outdoor and rural setting which appeals to the themes and subjects I like to draw and paint. My vision for this project is a focus on the signal man's house, with a hint of the tunnel and signal light through a window. I think the red light will provide a good contrast with the moodiness of the scene.
2. 3-6 Adjectives: dark, unsettling, moody, foreboding.
3. Colors, Dominant Shape, Lighting: dark blues, greens for exteriors, contrasting with red from the light and yellow from the interior of the house. Emphasis on diagonals to represent the signal man's mental anguish and create tension in the scene. Lighting will be dark, with lots of shadow and small areas of intense brights for contrast.
