Gave the Warhol look a try...
Mar 20 2008, 9:20 PM EDT I liked what you did with your daughter's photo so I thought I'd give it a try myself. I had fun with it but it could still use some work. I posted my attempt in the Photo project gallery: http://expressioncenter.wetpaint.com/page/Photo+Projects Do you find this valuable? |

RE: Gave the Warhol look a try...
Mar 21 2008, 9:22 AM EDT I totally LOVE that image!!!!! That was a good photo to try with the warhol scanning - just enough detail to make it interesting but not so much it gets busy. Try doing a classic Warhol print - do a quad of the image and place different offset colors behind the b/w scan. I have done it with solid backgrounds and also by "painting" messily in elements, laying the line drawing on top (I will try to post an example today). Once again - Love It!

Mar 21 2008, 12:18 PM EDT Ok, I tried the quad effect. I thought I had done okay and then I went back and looked at some images of Warhol's work and realized I didn't get as close as I had thought. :) Still fun though!

Mar 21 2008, 12:40 PM EDT It looks good! Did you keep the scanned image on top of the background color? That makes a difference. Try switching the bottom colors so it is dark/light on top and light/dark on bottom. I played around with so many ways of doing it.... I even published a kids craft project in 'Pack-O-Fun" magazine after we did something similar with an entire grade level in our school - 100 kids all displayed in the hallway, it was so cool! We printed the b/w image on watercolor paper with a laser printed and let the kids paint their images with regular watercolors. This is one of the great things about digital...you can keep mixing it up until you are satisfied....!!! Pamela (pc smart) Do you find this valuable? |
