Courtney+J+-+Texture



Texture as a whole is very interesting as it can be used in so many ways to drastically change one picture into another. Due to missing the graveyard shoot and another photo shoot, I struggled with coming up for an idea. I was originally really excited to use pictures from the graveyard but instead used still-life and prairie images to complete the project. I used two images from still-life and two from the prairie/woods photo shoot. Using blur and smudge, I was able to make the skull like like a part of the cup, which was on of the most difficult processes. I also painted certain parts of the background as to add more variety. However I stayed in a similar monochromatic scheme as to be visually appealing. I used the rule of thirds, level horizon and filling the frame while creating this piece. Overall, I thought I created a very visual appealing piece and it ties together well. In my mind, it strikes me as a death by nature ad for one thing or another.
