What do you do when you watch TV and it's really not interesting but you watch it anyway?
I play with my phone.
I've been working with Photoshop for many years, but was never drawn into manipulating images with it as I am with phone apps. Probably because they are so easy... push of a button and magic happens. I am constantly amazed by the unlimited possibilities to change an image.
I started with a blurry, dark, not specially interesting photo of a jelly fish and changed it to this:
Layered the new image under the original.
Cropped and changed colors.
Added more punch to it.
And finally, distressed.
And then I was so in love with the colors that I had to see them come alive under the brush.
It didn't turn out the same (of course), but it was good exercise and a lot of fun.
Excellent exercise...photo to phone to paint!
ReplyDeleteWOOOW excellent work Zorna. Love the composition and colors. What a great work and that via the TV on your PC and then with ink. Marvelous.

These are great Zorana! I have fun occasionally playing around with Gimp. Especially love doing humorous alterations to family photos. ;)
ReplyDeleteYou really took it the extra mile! Those colors are amazing....and what a neat way to inspire yourself :)
ReplyDeleteOMG amazing! I'm pretty good with Photoshop and altering images on my PC, but the extra step you took turning it into a fabulous painting .... Wish I mastered that too ;-) Beautiful!!
