Prompt 3 ‘Colour’ – One colour

with No Comments

Colour is evocative. It rouses emotions within us. It can elevate something familiar and tell a story.

Consider this image of Menlo Castle, taken from the NUI Galway sports fields at Dangan (credit: Mark Grealish).

 

Menlo Castle Infrared (Alternate)

 

Consider how this image would look in another hue. A warm yellow glow telling a more nostalgic story, or a red hue, signalling excitement or danger.

Your challenge: Experiment with one colour today, and think about how to feature it prominently – in a painting, a photograph, or even a short narrative.

Under my window, a clean rasping sound
When the spade sinks into gravelly ground:
My father, digging.
