Digital Painting Experiment

Oasis

I like to watch pixels change color on the screen. It is much better than TV and it is very relaxing. Oasis is an experiment simulating pastels. The process uses a brush with an applied texture. The scale of the texture is changed frequently so that the colors underneath show through. I used the polygon lasso tool to select different areas and add the hard edges that give the image its geometric look.

New Process

I am trying a new process that uses ink washes. Next semester I will be teaching the digital illustration class and I am working on some new possibilities.

Digital Painting Experiment: Oil

I am not a painter, but here is my attempt at oil paint in Photoshop (with some tips from Dan)

CMY Build-up

This experiment involves four layers: a white background layer, cyan, magenta, and yellow. The three color layers are set to multiply (mode). It was interesting trying to construct an image by creating each color separately.

Reduction Print in Photoshop

I am experimenting to see if I can reproduce some of the techniques of printmaking in Photoshop. This is my attempt at a reduction print.

Painting experiment


I am always experimenting with new digital processes. For this process I scanned in a gesso texture and applied the texture to Adobe Photoshop brushes. I have included the complete composition and a close up.
