THIS happens . . .

Remember that speed-thumbnail exercise I did in my previous post? I took one of those little thumbs and decided to take it to a more finished piece. But . . . I wanted to give myself a little challenge.

At my previous job, I was required to work around specific color schemes for a certain publication. This was always a challenge since the subject for each cover was different and the color theme for each issue was usually something atypical I usually wouldn't think to use. I really enjoyed doing those because they challenged me to think up creative ways to incorporate that color into a composition in ways I normally wouldn't gravitate too. ( Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind doing some more of those, either!)

So behold! I found a random color generator on the web and this was the first choice which came up.

To make things even more interesting, I used Google's special image-recognition-searcher-feature-thingy to find similar images to my thumbnail and this came up. I decided to use one of these images to distort, scale, and paste multiple times to create some sort of an environment in my painting.

Voila! The finished piece!

Here's a process of how it went. Bonus points if you can figure out which image from the Google search I used to create the environment.
