This post is comprised of some images created by
combining one image with the scanned images of paint and watercolor brush
strokes. I first scanned in the paint stroke sections of larger drawings, and
set them in a separate file. I then chose different subjects that I wanted to
combine with these paint strokes. Using the paint stroke image as a mask, I
then literally painted in the bottom photo using the eraser tool to bring it up
to the surface to create the painting like effect. What I am attempting to present is the mixing
of mediums digitally to create painting effects to a photographic image. Some of the images I have simply used graphic
shapes and lines to frame an object, but in others the subject is buried within
the paintbrush storks.
Walt Disney once said “We keep moving forward,
opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity
keeps leading us down new paths.” The art process is like doors - they must be
opened and what lies beyond explored in the art mediums of your preference. My
medium is photography and I am still exploring it -it is a door that I opened
and I am unable to shut.
