More Stretched Ideas

Here are some images that I have manipulated (two of which are below) and then stretched them to see what they would look like if I were to paint them like my first painting.

More Ideas


These are more of my own photographs that I have manipulated on PhotoShop. I copied the layer on top of itself, added a filter and then rubbed away parts to reveal the first layer. The first photo here has had a pallet knife filter over the top and then the decaying petals have been revealed. the second photo here has had a fresco filter added. I then revealed the greens in the image. The thought process here is to have the stems coming out of the painting as a 3D add on.

And Another

Here is another idea. I have taken a digital image of Lilly and a Rose. I then stretched them and used Auto Colour in PhotShop to enhance them.

New Ideas

Here is a new idea. it was a digital photograph of two Lillies. I have stretched them and then changed the colours to a bold more enhanced colour of what they were.

Final Painting

Here is my Painting Finished on the 11th February 2009. I am very pleased with the final outcome, I had problems with the large, light blue area as it did not look right and I could not work out why. I think that the yellow should have come out further into it so that it was not quite so bold. I am now ready to start planning a second painting. I will use PhotoShop to manipulate other photographs I have. I will stretch them and change the colours until I find the right image.

My Painting 4th February

Here is my painting nearly finished. There is a small part that needs colour at the bottom of the painting, and then I need to over coat the yellows as the pigmant in the paint I have is not very strong. I need to go over it to make sure that the colour is matt and block.

My Painting 3rd February

Here is the latest update of my painting. It is really coming togeather now. I have had to lay an acrylic underlay under the yellow oils as the oil is not taking to well on top of the green. I have tested one part with th acrylic under and it coming up more vibrant. I am pleased with the progress so far. A lot of progress has been made today. A little was completed yesterday but I was sent home from college due to weather conditions.
