I have chosen an original painting that i have then used to digitally copy.
 |
Original Still Life Painting. |
 |
firstly I layered my starting images so that i could then use the "quick selection tool" to remove the background of the image. |
 |
I then selected the image and used the "filter gallery" tool and used the "paint daubs effect" and then changed the bush size, sharpness and brush type. |
 |
After editing all the different items of the image i duplicated them onto one window and started to structure them so that they layered in the correct order. |
 |
Then using the crop tool i cropped the image so that it was the appropriate size that was adequate for the original copy. |
 |
I then made sure that everything was in the correct place as the original painting. |
 |
Finished digital copy. |
Evaluation
Creating this digital copy of a still life painting, I found very challenging. The reason as to why I found this challenging was because I had never used Photoshop before, so using the different tools and learning the short-cuts became very complicated and difficult to remember. When I finally got to grips with the tools of Photoshop I found the effects very impressive, they allowed me to create different texture and tone within my work. My strengths that I found while using Photoshop was that I was able to get the effect I hoped to achieve very quickly. Personally I would say that my weakness was that throughout making my digital copy I had open many images to edit so at times I was confused and I often lost track of which parts of work I was working on, due to this I know know that I can organise my different windows of work on tabs in Photoshop. Although I enjoyed creating this digital copy of a still life painting, my finial outcome was not as successful as I'd have hoped for it to be, the reason for this was because I was new to Photoshop and I think that if I was to do another piece similar to this I think that I would be able to work at a faster pace which I could then involve more time with effects, as I had to work to a deadline with this piece so unfortunately I was restricted the amount of time I took choosing the right effects and the structure of the whole piece. Overall I enjoyed learning how to create this piece of work and understand my errors that I need to correct for the next time I digitally copy a painting or use Photoshop in any way.
