Module Eleven: Digital Paintings
Document for creating a Pseudo Watercolor Painting
By following the Pseudo Watercolor directions Rachel K. created this image.

The Master Remix Project is another opportunity for you to experiment with image Adjustments and Filters within Photoshop.
Avoid Abstract art styles for this assignment!!!

Select an image that is conisdered a "Master Artwork/Painting". Using your knowledge and additional experimentation of the filters, color settings and anything thing else that you need in Photoshop to accomplish one of the following:

  • Try to make your photograph look like the painting you selected. The steps, layers and techniques will be different for everybody!
  • Create a "spoof"of the painting by changing one or more elements. For example Dali's Persistence of Memory (the melting clock painting) you could take multiple pictures that when combined would have a similar look, but maybe with melting fruit instead!
  • You can also select an inspiration Master work and take photograh(s) to manipulate that would then be VERY reminiscent of the original painting.
In this example by Jake G. you see the original Monet painting in the lower right. Behind you see Jake's Filtered and Manipulated digital image.
