New Photo for Art Exhibit




I decided to use a photography of a friend for one of my images for the art exhibit. I took a digital photo then I placed photo on a copy machine to create a black and white picture so I could actually write on with oil pastels. I took oil pastels and outlined the face and the shaded areas of the photo. After this I took this image and proceeded to take another digital image in front of small group of different sized mirrors. Each mirrors were set or possitioned at different depths thus giving the image a blocked appearance. After taking taking this new photo image I brought the picture into photoshop to make adjustments before then proceding to use Corel Painter X to add a line on the nose of the image which was missed in the conventional use of the oil pastel. I would like to say I used the oil pastel in painter but on the contrary I used the black pen which I seemed to have more control with using the pen pad connected to the Apple computer. I again went back to Photoshoope and the process was rather simple. I cropped photo, adjusted image by doing an auto contrast then went into brightened/Contrast feature and made the adjustment. I also adjusted the hue/saturation to get the best possible color level. From there I saved and opened image in Painter and I believe I used the dry flat brush feature. Here are pictures of this imagine.
