Desaturated Flower

Artist Reflection

AFTER

     This is my edit of a work that I have titled "Desaturated Flower." The strongest technical aspect of this work is the flower itself and how I used the history brush tool to make it my focal point. This is the strongest aspect because it gives the viewer's somewhere to go the second they see my work. The technical aspect of my work that could be improved are the tiny places I went outside of the "lines." I could improve on this next time by using things like the magic wand tool or zooming in on the photo to get a smaller detailed view to make it cleaner.

     This activity was very easy. I thought this was easy because it was simply desaturating a photo and then using the history brush tool to repaint the main part of the picture. The most difficult part of this activity was trying to not paint outside of the flower. This was hard because one wrong movement of the wrist could mess you up and then you'd have to undo and repaint what was needed. Those were the easiest and hardest parts of the activity.

     I demonstrated the objective of the project by repainting the main middle flower. I achieved this objective when I desaturated the photo and then repainted over the flower using the art history brush. Using the art history brush helped me achieve this goal because it repaints everything in the photo exactly how it was, so I didn't need to manually shade my work. If I could do this activity again I would do it with a different photo. I would do it with a more difficult photo because I felt this project was extremely easy and prefer a bit of a challenge.
