<\/a>Painterly self-portrait<\/p><\/div>\n
<\/p>\n
This self-portrait is a result of a great suggestion by my friend Angel who said:<\/p>\n
“Pick any photo image you have (can be yourself) and make it look like an oil painting on canvas.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Thanks for the suggestion, Angel! I used my webcam to capture images of myself from some interesting angles and lighting situations. Then, I used one as a base image in the GIMP to first color-pick then paint into with different brushes using a Wacom tablet. It was a lot of fun to ruin the perfect forms of photography and replace it with the warmth and approximation of painting. I’ve done this a few times before in different ways, but this was a very direct, very freeing method.<\/p>\n
