Week 15: Photo Paint



Craft
I started by setting the photo as a separate layer on the bottom. After that I created a subsequent layers on top of the photo that includes separate colors of paint at different values, lifght to dark, for the background and then for the dog. Using only the eye dropper and paintbrush tools, I started by making a simple background by picking out just genearl shapes and colors that would not distract from the dog in the foreground. I omitted such things like what was outside of the windows and an other random objects in the room that did not have anything to do with the dog. I started by picking out the lightest colors of the dog and painted over it in a separate layer and then gradually picked the darker colors and painted the finer details in separtate layers.
Concept
The concept is simple, the picture is supposed to focus on the dog.
Composition
Since the random obects are omitted and the background is simplified, the dog pops especially with the contrasting colors over the background.
