New paintings and regular art updates.
Exercise in perspective. Digitally manipulated photo of a door and window. It’s created an apparent corner where non exists. I tried rotating the image four times until I was satisfied with this picture. I used the incollage app to do it, I was previously using the old Instagram layout app.
A picture I created five years ago. Collaged from an angled view of part of the old spode factory in Stoke on Trent. I love it because it looks like it’s floating in a beautiful blue sky, with patterns of wispy clouds creating a tracery of waves like the tide coming in around the buildings. I should do more….
Badly drawn mug with a photo superimposed on it. I was just trying out the idea of what would work on a mug. I’m sure there are templates so you can see how things would work, but I don’t know which application is the best to choose? I think spoonflower and red bubble have them but I don’t know of there is a charge to use them. The pattern is a collage of a photo of my crocheted blanket, it was square so I had to draw curves so the top and bottom fitted into the shape. It might work?
I can almost see a koala bear in this collaged photo. Above and below that I can see eyes on stalks. It’s called Pareidolia, and it’s something I seem to do all the time.. I saw patterns in wallpaper when I was young. Roses became teddy bears somehow. Green leaves became fairies. I could see faces in bowls of fruit. I think I’m weird!
Almost metallic, huchera leaves look like copper in the moist air. The pattern was achieved using a symmetrical collage tool on a photo I took a few years ago. I need to do more of these, it’s fascinating to see how the symmetrical pattern enhances the shapes. This could almost be a bowl with a drain in its centre.
You never know
When you reflect
What you will get?
A collaged image of a draughts board and chequers. I thought it had a slight look of a 1960’s pop music set. With this image hanging down as scenery behind a band like the new seekers, or Freddie and the Dreamers. I could imagine it on a black and white TV with microphone stands, guitars and a drumkit just waiting to be played.
Love of pattern
Shape and colour
Make me happy
Gives me joy.
Intricate design
Swirls and grids
Makes me excited
Somehow lightened
And restored
Digitally manipulated photo of vaccum packed crochet blanket, added symmetry with the incollage app and then drew over it with the Sketchbook app. I suppose butterflies are quite symmetrical. It’s an interesting effect I think. I’m not sure whether to do anything else to it. I’ll see later.
Digital playtime again. I used the curved lines drawing as a basis for this. I had fun with textures and patterns. Finger painting in the Artrage app. Then I ran it through the photodirector app on my phone. I’m not sure who the face is x
