Something Richer and Stranger.

Welcome to my contribution to Dave's App Recipe Book Project! March Edition. Check out the other contributors listed on Dave's blog and, of course, Dave's images!

I find that iPhoneography is a quick way to satisfy my creative muse when I don't have time to paint. Colour, texture, line, imagery - it's the next best thing... and it gives me ideas for new paintings. Head on over to my Facebook Page to find many more images - LIKE the page too if you want. :)

RECIPE

Start with an original piece of art that you have created. In this case, I used my newest painting, "Something Rich and Strange I". iPhoneography is a great way for an artist to find new inspiration by altering and exploring their own work. Try it!

Something Rich and Strange I.


Shoot sections of your work with your iPhone using ProCamera. I have replaced the original iPhone camera app with this one for everyday use.

Chosen section.
Result from iDarkroom.
Open one of your successful shots in iDarkroom.
Apply these filters:
"Hi Sepia"
"Recycle"
"Sketch"
Vignett 1"
"Sprockets"
Save.


My favourite image from SCRATCHcam.
Re-open image in SCRATCHcam.
Hit "Random" until you find
an image that you like.
Save.
I always save many!
Pick your favourite.


For your enjoyment, a slide show with variations on this image...

  3. I've always liked the thought of using partial images to 'play with', either digitally or using other artist's media. Well done.
