RevTim Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 I love to see how far I go with creating a painterly look beginning with a photo. The original photo (below) is actually a montage of many images found on the web - vases, flowers, draperies, figurines, etc. were are separate images. The resulting combined painting was created solely from Affinity Photo's default filters & layer blend modes, and without using any brushwork. Ultimately, the document contained 22 layers.

William Overington Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 When I read the first part of the text that you had written I decided to have a good look at your result before reading the rest and looking at the original picture, so as to avoid my reaction being influenced by the original. I got the impression of a long dining table going perspectively into the distance with people sat each side at a dinner. Perhaps a bit like the layout in the film Citizen Kane a bit after 40 minutes 30 seconds into the movie, yet the people mixed company in France around 1890, including at the left a lady wearing a large pink hat. https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b0074n82/citizen-kane William RevTim 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevTim Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Wow! Thanks for the very flattering comparison. If only my work was a groundbreaking as Welle's film! I was going for semi-abstract in style, although I also like doing completely abstract work - which may be my next project.
