This post features Digital Imagery student Veronica. I love her paintings so much. They’re fresh and colorful. The line quality and brush strokes are so lovely and loose. I love how they are feminine and goddess like.
I would totally buy one of these paintings. I am so impressed with your work Veronica, well done!
Today I would like to share a work of art created by the incredibly talented Crystal M. Believe it or not, this painting was Crystal’s first attempt at painting, and I would like to tell her that it shouldn’t be her last. Pablo Picasso and Cubism inspired Crystal’s portrait of the artist Frida Kahlo.
The blending of two separate faces, the colors, and composition all make this an incredibly well-executed work of art.
If you like art and painting, and even if you think you’d be no good at it, you should consider registering for one of my Photoshop classes.
A quick post to show some new work. Today was critique day in Digital Imagery. Students were required to create a digital portrait and here are three of my favorites. I may post more from them later this week.
It didn’t have to be a face. It could be anything that represents who you are. A place, a vibe, color, animal, or something like that.
When the first image came up on the screen I heard a collective gasp in the room. Vivian used electric jewel tones as accent to make this portrait pop. Such a beautiful piece of art. I introduced Viv to the work of Cezanne. She really loved how he used flat patches of color and she wanted her work to echo his style.
The image below was created by Alex . It’s a self portrait with a character that he developed traveling through outer space. Throughout the term Alex has steadily made the class giggle with his lighthearted concepts. The composition feels so open and I personally enjoy the implied line between the figures.
This bewitching portrait was created by Nicole. I love her subtle use of color (and not so subtle). Look at the way the golden tones frame her face. The watercolor splashes on the face and the distorted grid of dots in the background contrasts nicely with the fluid portrait. And of course the doodles of flowers feel very current. Well done guys.
