This is a really great way to make quick, easy backgrounds! I will have to use this method in the future. Also messed around with one of those fun little leaf brushes we learned how to make in class last week.
I really like the flat strokes you used in this, it gives it a really nice painterly quality and completely hides the photo references meaning it looks a lot more "yours". Also, great use of color as always.
I love how this turned out! your brush strokes are really incredible and have a lot of movement, especially the sky. I like how you painted the whole thing and didnt really show any photo aspects from the original photo.
I like how you completely painted over the photos with heavy brushstrokes. There is just enough detail to be able to decipher this landscape that it works very well for a background. The nice thing about this assignment is that it is really easy to come back to this and continue adding detail. I think that could be very interesting.
i love how you put the photos together mostly as a reference. it looks super awesome that you painted over the whole thing. the color looks super nice and even the cheesy leaf brush looks pretty good!
I think it's really cool you were able to create an entire landscape exclusively with broad, colorful strokes. It's so simple but the overall image is really effective- makes me think of Shangri-La. My one nitpick is that there might be too many solid strokes in the lake portion of the landscape- it looks less like water and more like melting snow. I'd blur up the edges of those strokes just to make it look like one surface instead. But you've got this down, clearly.
This is awesome! The way your colors are working together are really fun and it'd be super exciting to see how you could move forward with them as you added more structure and detail. I also love that fun, creeping vine/tree shape that's kind of snaking around the bottom, I think it'd be cool to see it continuing off into the water. Overall super awesome!
I really like how you used the photobash as a frame of reference to create something that looks unique to you. The brush strokes and colors are great, and I think you used good photos to create a scene that has a nice depth to it.
I love the color in this piece! I think that the fact that you were able to bring elements of each of the colors around the piece makes it easily readable as a unified environment. It seems magical! The textures that you're getting with your painting are really nice as well! It looks like a very expressive, freeing way to work with the brushes and I think you should keep making things like this! The texture "drybrush" in the sky is particularly nice - especially because it looks like the northern lights / or some kind of very windswept sky/clouds. I think that grittiness adds to the charm of this and the fact that you painted over the original pieces really makes it your own. Great job on this one! I think the only thing that I would say to make it better is maybe there are some deeper shadows in the water near the right hand side by the buildings - just to make sure that it's grounded!
