Brigam’s Digital Sketchbook

 All of our posters up and curated by the class. 

  For my piece I was inspired by Gabrielle Münter’s ‘Jawlensky & Werefkin’. Blending Impressionism and simplified contours with minimal individuality to create a dreamscape that blends reality and art in multiple different ways. I blended 3 images together on photoshop to create the setting, and added 1 of my own but decided to cover it in procreate with the oil paint brush setting. I wanted my piece to feel like a dream, blurred faces and the impressions of things that make sense but seem almost surreal. At first I wanted to focus on image overload, but as I kept working in my piece I decided I wanted to make something that blended both detailed images and simple impressions. I wanted to disrupt the perfect photographs with painting. I thought this was the perfect way to incorporate intense colours and pay homage to the original art work that I based it off of. My idea was to have Jawlensky and Werefkin having a fun beach day, adding backstory and even more personality to the ...

For my different versions of my digital painting I played with colour grading and different filters to make my image seem more like a coherent painting. While I really enjoy these versions, I felt the filters did too good of a job at making my piece look like a real, not exaggerated painting/collage. My painting is made up of 4 images i found on the interned with one of my own that i used procreate to convert into a more stylized painted version. As said in a prior post I was inspired by Gabrielle Münter’s ‘Jawlensky & Werefkin’. Blending Impressionism and simplified contours with minimal individuality to create a dreamscape that blends reality and art in multiple different ways.
