Project 4 - Watercolors

Spiky and Brittle 

Soft and Pliable
Creepy and Sinister

Dramatic and Flamboyant

For me this project was really challenging at first. I wasn't exactly sure where to start or what object to choose. I finally ended up choosing to use an image of a flower for my inspiration. While usually flowers are bright and cheery it was interesting to take different approaches to them.

For the Spiky/Brittle and the Creepy/Sinister I wanted to use black and grays to really capture those feelings. I was picturing a dead flower when creating these, however I especially like the Creepy/Sinister one and I think it turned out rather pretty. 

The Soft/Pliable one was more of what I picture an actual flower to be: pink, pretty, lively. It was fairly easy to do as I just took the pinks and purples and mixed them around to make it look like a real flower. As for the Dramatic/Flamboyant, I wasn't really sure where to start, but I ended up choosing 3 prominent colors and mixing them into the shape of the flower to make it look realistic in a way. 

I don't mind working with water color and it was really interesting to take the watercolor paintings and interpreting them in Photoshop. I ended up using the brush tool and different brushes to really get a good look for the flowers.
