Photoshop Paintings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I WAS INTRODUCED<\/strong> to Photoshop paintings in digital media where I worked on emulating a series of photos to experiment with brushes and textures. The first painting Tessa is Stuck<\/em> was the first one I tackled where I used the pastel brush and the eyedropper tool to pick out colors in the original photo and I used the brush tool to fill in the respective section. In the next painting Flower Pastel Power<\/em>, this technique didn’t work as well with watercolor, since layering strokes deepened the color and it didn’t look great. The transparent quality of watercolor made painting difficult as well, so I stuck with pastels. The last painting Struttin’ <\/em>was done in the same manner as Tessa is Stuck<\/em>. I have a fourth painting in the works currently that I’m using to experiment with brush sizes to give the illusion of depth within the image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Photoshop Painting Artist Statement - Struttin' \nSarah Rashed <\/strong>      \n        During the process of creating my photoshop painting, I developed my painting skills by experimenting with brushes, the eyedropper tool, and brush sizes. I initially had problems with organization. On my practice document, I went all in and used a single layer to paint based off of a picture. When the brush strokes began accumulating and I couldn\u2019t keep track of the sections of my painting, I began having trouble with the image structure. I spent some time trying to erase parts and fixing gaps because of this and my workflow was\u2013 for lack of a better word\u2013 wack. On my final photoshop document (the one that you see here), I used multiple layers and organized folders of different parts so I could easily identify them and make changes accordingly. This also made shifting parts to be above or below each other much easier. \n        Looking back on my project, I think I would change how I did the background of the girl. It\u2019s quite plain, which I\u2019m not entirely mad at, but it feels a little detached from the girl. I\u2019d like to add some trees or other structures to make the overall painting mesh better together. I am really proud of the way I painted the girl. I think the colors I used on her shirt and shorts especially make her look 3 dimensional, giving the painting a palpable quality. In the future, I\u2019d like to refine my use of brush sizes in regards to painting the foreground, midground, and background because I think tinkering with that would give the painting more of a 3 dimensional quality. I think my setting in this painting lacks that quality, so I\u2019d like to master that in the future.\n<\/pre>\n\n\n\n
