Digital Paintings & Abstract Art

"Fireworks"

     This is my digital abstract photo. I was inspired to make this after watching a tutorial about how to create digital abstract art on photoshop. The stamp that I used for this image reminded me of fireworks, and celebrations on Canada Day, so that is why I named it "Fireworks". Although the firework on the left is larger, my focal point is the smaller firework on the right because it is much brighter, and pops out more, in my opinion.


     This is my digital painting overlay. I chose to paint an overlay on a photo of a runner because I love running. I gave it the title "Free Run" because the gradient that I used makes it look like the runner is running from something that is kind of dark, and heavy, and into something happy and free. The other reason I gave it this name was because of the Nike shoes that she is wearing. They are called "Nike Free Runs", and I thought that it would be a nice pun. Overall, I really like how it turned out, and it is my favourite piece that I created for this project.

This is my optional photo, and I chose to make another photo overlay, but this time I made a cat because I thought it would be a challenge, and it was because of the detail. I used the bright orange gradient as a background because I thought the picture needed a pop of brightness, and when I tried using the cat's eye colour as a gradient, it didn't do much for the picture. I named this photo "Found the Yarn" because the eyes of the cat look like they are very focused on something of interest, which could quite possibly be a treat, or a toy, like a ball of yarn.
