Week 2 Lab : Painting a Picture

the assignment was to "paint" a picture with brushes in photoshop. I used a picture I took in Tahoe with a long exposure (10s) to freeze the water. My goal was not to make a precise copy of the picture but to make a painting including the main elements of the composition with a soft focus texture.


I used the mix brush in a mode that is sampling the color from the actual picture on the background layer, and painted on a additional layer. I used a fairly large brush to mainly capture the main "blocks" in the composition. then I used an additional layer and painted with the normal brush to suggest the snow on the mountain and another layer to add a little bit of texture in the 2 main rocks.
