How To Come Up With Painterly Photographs

By Elizabeth Barnes


Relying on technology can diminish your value as an artist. So, allow this article to help in maintaining that trait within you. You just have to get used to your new medium and know how you can improve the quality of the photos. This is already where your creativity will set in.

The first step is for you to crop the images. You do not need to make complete painterly photographs since people would only be focusing on the things which they recognize. Thus, if you have the portrait of a face, you can cut most part of the background and focus on the facial features.

Do not experiment too much on the color palette. Remember that you possess a portrait to follow and your work needs to have harmony on top of everything else. Do not overwhelm your spectators since you only have one shot at making an impression on them. Also, less will always be more.

Be sure that you have already eliminated all the shadows during the post processing stage. They will not help you in establishing the impression that you are an artist of life. Moreover, they can make some images look scary which prevents you from having a general shows for your exposure.

You can play with filters but this would all depend on the specifications of your prospects. Yes, you are an artist but you have to realize that other people are the ones who are keeping your art alive. So, learn to meet demands even when they are difficult in the beginning. This can get you better in what you do.

Your brush size has to be big. This will allow you to cover more area. Some intricate details may pave way to a smaller size but that will be for the latter part. Focus on filling the workspace first so that you will not have a hard time following through the right dimensions and getting the assets right.

Have no hesitation in changing the background. This element is just as important as the rest of the picture. So, try out one color after or you can use the eyes of the person as the basis for your choice. You also have the option to be more creative by merging two images and using one as the background.

Review yourself in the most cruel way. Remember that you have a lot of artists to compete with. So, compare your work with the people whom you admire in the industry. Aim to be in the same level as them for you to earn more money and put your efforts into good use. This can also give you a stable career.

Put more emphasis in the eyes. They have to be shiny or deep depending on your interpretation. When you perfect this feature, people would have no choice but to fall in love with your work and that can be a great start considering the fact that you are still a novice. Again, always use what individuals are drawn to since art is about catering to needs.
