I thought it would be fun to share different styles of digitally altering a single photograph. I’m starting with the original photographic capture. The setting is an outdoor “kitchen” in Los Angeles. (I call it a kitchen as it has different grills and ovens for a variety of barbeque experiences which are not included in this photo). So starting with the print below….
I cropped it eliminating unnecessary aspects to keep it focused on the table, fireplace and wood door. I then took the cropped picture and started playing with different digital techniques. After trying numerous looks, I settled on the four following prints to keep in my gallery.
I’ll start with this colored sketching presentation. This technique re-creates the look of an art print that was sketched by hand, using colored pencils.
From there, I pulled all colors and created the same sketched picture in a black and white format.
With this presentation, I used a fauvism technique of oil painting. Fauvism creates somewhat abstract shapes, bold brush strokes and surreal colors creating this look.
In this final print, I used a gothic style of oil painting using earthen colors creating that old world look and feel.
All four created totally different looks and some will appeal to your eye and others not so much as we all have different tastes and preferences in art. I just wanted to share how I go about taking one photo and create various digital versions to end up with the final look or looks of any one photographic capture!
Thoughts? As I have said before, everyone reacts to visual art techniques and looks differently, so I am not in the least offended by opinions.
