=My Final Artwork=


 * My concept of the project is "Nature is everywhere". According to me, nature is in every single atom of our body. It teaches us really different and amazing things. To demonstrate my thoughts, I created an image of different flowers and seasons that can be seen through a big tree. Basically the tree is representing the seasons and nature. My whole artwork mainly focused on Texture. I started creating the image by cropping (used crop tool) the original photos and pasting them to the background image (which is the tree). Then I changed the brightness and the contrast of the background so that the branches of the tree could be seen more (texture of the branch). Next I used the eraser tool, decreased the opacity and started to erase the edges of my snow image, I used this method to give a blended effect for the image (transition from the branch texture to snow texture). I even blended the edges for all the flowers to give a transition look. I slightly decreased the opacity for all the flowers because I want the trunk texture to be seen through the flowers. After I blended all the edges of my pictures, I subtly changed the saturation, contrast and brightness of the snow image, to show the snow texture. Then I contrasted the flowers because I wanted their color to pop up and stand out from the trunk color. Next I cropped, skewed and slightly warped the blue flowers. I did this editing to give an effect to the flowers crawling through the branches. At last, I changed the levels of my background to give some contrast and color. The main compositional technique I have used is the leading lines (the branches leading to one another) and I think I have also used fill the frame technique. Overall I feel really satisfied about my final image (mainly the blending). I also feel I could created the image more interesting and unique.  **
