Rothko-esque painting in ArtRage

-

The prompt for this project was to create a painting in ArtRage that was in the style of Mark Rothko. I had never used ArtRage before, so it was interesting to experiment with the new program. Also, doing a Rothko-style painting was fun because the focus of the painting is not details, it's colors. I tried different color combinations until I finally found one that I liked.

The instructions for the 30 Day Photo Challenge were to take 30 photos that related to the 30 prompts given. This is not the first 30 Day Photo Challenge I have done, so be sure to check out my first challenge from a couple of months ago. I'm doing something new with this one- I'm adding a short explanation/random comment after each photo to make the post a bit more interesting. Enjoy! Day 1: Favorite Food I really, really love oatmeal, but oatmeal looks like gross gray mush; instead, I took a photo of some home-made granola (because it's made of oats) fresh out of the oven.

This "painting" that you can see above is actually not a painting at all! (I doubt I am good enough at art to create a painting of this beauty). It's actually a picture of my cousin Sage drinking a milkshake, and I put a filter on it to fool everyone. The filters I used to make the photo look painted were (I think) palette knife and underpainting. Overall, a very easy assignment but cool to look at nonetheless.

Puzzle Face

Hmmmmm...... what a weird puzzle.......... ???? The instructions for this assignment told me to use parts of a face and make the face look like it is made of puzzle pieces. This actually took parts from two pictures-- one with my brother Julian holding his hand in front of his face, and one taken right after he put his hand down. I took pieces from the latter, gave them borders, and put them on this face to create this strange and disproportionate puzzle.
