Went to the Red Hen Baking Cafe today around 8am. Stayed till 3pm. Worked on some artwork and my landscape design website. I really enjoyed myself. Came home tonight, tired, so I cut my hair. It looks like Conan with brown locks, not orange. Should probably spend the money and get it trimmed.
Barn Art: pen sketch, digital graphics from photos and color gradients. Photoshop.
I started out with a piece of art from this summer. A simple sketch and some photoshop. I wanted to give it some more life. I came across a photo I took with an awesome sky. Using the “pattern tool,” I incorporated it. Having played with a lot of patterns from the same photo, for example I tried using a lot of the gravel for the foreground, I wound up with a border to my artwork. Which was cool, it gave me smaller confines to work within. Having a sort of landscape scenario in mind helped me shape the space in the foreground. Here, I just went nuts with fun objects in pictures I had, and later paired down the madness.
Landscape Website
Came up with a patterned background, using an image of a tree branch across the street from the cafe I was sitting at. I’m currently working on filling out the project pages.
The tree branch silhouette inspired me to make a website background, overplayed on a fine garden, with stonework, slope and flowering perennials.
