The class will teach you how to create a composite artwork inspired by the beauty of Art Nouveau portraits painted at the end of the 19th century. To achieve harmonious result and maintain at the same time the fine art sensibility we will blend a contemporary digital portrait with stylised vintage botanic elements.
The 1st part of the class focuses on preparing elements of the composite and combining them together. We will be mixing digital photography with stylised vintage vector illustrations. In the following, 2nd part we will concentrate on blending the pieces into a final artwork by working with light and color of the image. That includes working with Photoshop’s most powerful tools such as curves, blend modes and masks. We will practice creating precise selections, luminosity and color adjustments and gradient light effects. My aim is to ignite your inspiration by showing that starting with a simple photo you can create a spectacular composite image. Don't limit yourself - use your imagination! When you join me in this class you will get instant access to a high quality portrait and the vector vintage botanic illustration which we will use as a base during the hands-on part of the course. You will get the original files and final versions with all editable Photoshop layers included.
