Digital Art Experiment
I tried something fun today, and thought I would share it.
It all started with Google images. For some odd reason I typed in the words “Red Paintings” and poof! . . . up came a screen full of brillant “RED” paintings. I did a quick screen capture. I suddenly thought of CMYK and off I went to capture Blue Paintings, Yellow Paintings and finally Black Paintings.
This is how my first screen looked:
then I played a bit and out came . . . screen number two
with a bit more playing . . . out came screen number three
still curious . . . here came screen number four
and finally . . . the final screen number five
I found it was a great little exercise to help the creative juices flow!!
