last week's post (featuring the digital repaint of my hysterectomy study) was a start of something interesting. I'll be exploring this further in this post, using different styles and techniques and various other Photoshop bits to see how i can produce more effective paintings of one of my best studies (so far) of the current 'Traces' brief.
Original study of mastectomy scars. This study focuses on using complimenting colours to emphasize shading, contouring and depth.
Using colour bending brush, blur tool and corresponting colours to repaint the basic image. Theres a nice fluidity to this peice although a lot of the depth is lost with the paint's texture.
I really like this! I used the 'watercolour' filter. The filter is fairly self explanatory and works really well. It reminds me of one of Francis Bacon's paintings as it creates a lot of depth and most of the green tones are lost, making it very fleshy and raw.
Here I have just used an angled brush tool to give an impression of the colours. I have mixed feeling about this. I dislike how flat it has become however i really wish to explore this kind of paint application, perhaps usiong oils with no medium or thinner with a palette knife to give it more depth and texture.
