For my painting class we have to make either a digitally altered painting or a photo realistic painting. I thought that the digitally altered would be interesting and fun! So I tried to use some interesting techniques...
First I took this photo from Photobooth and put it in Photoshop to change a few things. Here's the picture before a cropped and changed it to black..
and after I changed it...
Then I had to figure out how to paint it. I tried some studies and found the best technique! First I painted my piece of paper with black acrylic paint (so it would dry faster). Then I decided to use a grid because I didn't want to mess up the placement.
After I maped out everything I used white acrylic paint for the bottom layer. Once I had my white face and hand in I started the color!
Using a window screen and paint brush I dabbed the paint in the right spots. Here is my painting in process with the picture...
Once I got over my fear of doing my nose and mouth I finally finished my first painting!!! Here is it finished and with a close up of the "pixels"..
