Friday Catch Up 08 09 2023

 

I painted some leaves this week to alter a Frida Kahlo painting I did a while back.
This is the original painting after I altered the butterfly as it didn't stand out enough

The leaves were separated and arranged in photoshop, I included the Frida painting and it is now a repeating pattern for fabric. I can't make my mind up whether I like it or not.

Birds
I drew the birds for a project I am working on, you'll see it sometime in the future hopefully. I thought it would be interesting to keep the birds black and white and use some of my phots for the backgrounds.

Pen Doodle which I didn't like so I altered it in Photoshop

Digital - Tablet Doodles - I did these quite a while ago but They've been sitting on my computer waiting for me to do something with them, not necessarily together but I decided to combine them digitally then I can get rid of them. I've altered the colour of the 'flower'.






I was messing about with watercolour and a small bottle of perfume that I didn't like to see if it reacted any differently than water - it didn't seem too, but the paper stunk for ages.
I didn't like what I produced, looks like fried eggs on something and not at all appealing.
So I thought I would see what I could do with it in Photoshop

Notepaper filter and the rest are various neural filters. They all still look like eggs!





This one I made into a repeating pattern
