Fine Arts Holiday Showcase 2014

Inspired by the painting starry night, I painted a more winter-ish theme for the holiday poster design contest. I used acrylic paint, along with some watercolor. I took a picture of the painting and edited it on photoshop, using the dodge and burn tools, along with the text tools. Also, using the magic wand tool, I selected the emblems and put them in the correct place. It took a while to find the appropriate text that would be readable against all the colors in the background.

Beguile

A sort of creepy picture I took of my mom. Taken with my 35mm camera. The name of the photograph is Beguile; to entice or charm in a deceptive way. I didn't get her to pose like this, I took the picture while she was off guard and the wind was messing up her hair. Rule of thirds is used.

Emergence

This is a photo I took on my digital camera. The picture was taken in my backyard. The flower is actually really small, I zoomed in alot to get all the detail. The photo is named emergence, which means the process of coming into being, or of becoming important or prominent. The flower is small and usually not recognized on these types of trees and in the photograph it is the main subject. I used the Macro setting on my camera and used a filter to bring out the contrast between the trees, sky and flower. Also, rule of thirds and leading lines are used.
