Hey Guys,
I just wanted to share a project with you all that I have finally completed testing on.
Some of you may have seen the aerial photography that I had printed to oversize stretched canvas. The entire idea there was to find compelling shots taken with a gopro on my tricopter, then dumped into Photoshop for some tweaking, then printed to oversize canvas.. AND THEN allow my fiance to cover the entire thing in paint. The end result is pretty amazing if I say so myself. She is able to keep all of the detail of the original photo, but by painting over it there is some type of additional human character added to the work. It's hard to see exactly what I'm talking about from a photo, but you can trust me on that. ;-)
Originally the idea was to just go over it in clear coat for the same of adding texture & brush strokes, but once the painting supplies came out she couldn't stop. The entire thing has now been covered completely in paint except for one small little area where there were reflective elements in the shot.
I have a picture of the canvas pre paint in my user gallery if your interested in comparing. They really do look almost exactly alike.
Here is the first finished product. Now the plan is to keep her busy with this all summer while she has time away from the kids & school.
