Painting with Photos, FOTD June 3, 2021

 

I used an app on this one. Wish I could remember which one as it turns photos into art! I’ve found an app called Luna that has an art app but it doesn’t seem to be the one I used as I can’t find any of the ones I used two years ago when I created this one. Ah, memory..

What do you think? Can even a master artist improve on nature?

Painterly Impressions: Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge 2016, Week 48

Here are two more of my “painterly” edits of photos. I wish I could paint this well. I believe the first is a detail, with some editing, cropping and deletions, of a night shot of the sky with an overhanging roofline.  The second is an edited detail of a blue heron in flight taken at Sea Ranch, California. Only the “Photos” editing software that came with my Mac was used.

Trick Photography Made Simple: Cee’s Oddball Challenge 2015, Week 38

Can you guess what this image is?  It is something in my house. I took the shot and then worked with light, color,saturation, contrast, cast, sharpen and definition in the Photos editing bar on my Mac. Last, I used the retouch (bandaid) and by option/clicking, chose details to duplicate and paste over portions of the photo to “paint” with details of the photo.  By enlarging and decreasing the areas chosen to copy and rotating the photo, I was able to get more variety in copying and pasting different sections. There is something about the photo that reminds me of my dad’s old flintlock rifle.

Version 2But actually, this is the original–just a detail from a photo of a drawer in my kitchen.
