Portrait 8 – 1hour


For this portrait I chose to combine both techniques I have been experimenting with. I started with portrait 7 and used the art history brush to achieve a different finish. Placing the original image on one layer, I used several layer to build up the image. I chose to use a variety of different brushed on each layer and reduce the opacity making some layer stand out more than other. When I had finished the layer I played with different layer blends which made the marks react to colours in the layer below. The final image is very different from the original and I like the blurred out look that has been created. This portrait reflects that of a fine art style illustration apposed to portrait 7 which has a fantasy art quality to it.
