Our task was to create two works in the style of Karan Singh. I started with a public domain picture of pots on a square canvas in Illustrator. An everyday item like the ones he depicts in his works. I then created outlines with the pen tool, which I made into a live paint object. I coloured these in with my chosen palette. 

To curve the stripes around the objects I used the Envelope Distort / Make with Top Object tool. I have never used this before, but with some adjustments I managed. Then, in Photoshop, I added shading with colours from the palette and the Dissolve layer mode. I then altered the colours until I was was satisfied but I like both the red/purple and red/green versions.

This is my second piece in the style of Karan Singh. I chose a more complex item this time und used a similar method; creating outlines with the pen tool and creating a live paint object. I then created a colour palette using Coolors.co

I created two posters in the style of Andreea Robescu. This was digital photo collage artwork in the style of Andrea Robescu combining photography and digital Photoshop painting.

This first one I made with a public domain image. I used a photo with the subject looking into the camera, like Robescu does. I drew flowers in her style and created an busy and fun composition. Some of the abstract shapes are clearly in the foreground but others are meant to look more like they are inside the image.

Part of this task was to complete both posters in 1 hour and 30 minutes. I finished the first poster before my 45 minutes were up giving me more time to do the second, but it is less detailed and I have not managed to link it to my FMP. Namely, because I was unable to find photos that linked with my theme as well as fit with Robescu’s aesthetic.
