Oops, I made a mistake in my last post! I have corrected it now though. The app I have been using in my course to get the colours in the photo is called Palette Republic and is available on iPhones and Android. I had called it Moment by mistake. The Moment app has easily adjusted setting for poor light etc. and is for taking photos
I can't believe that I made such a huge mistake. When I look back at my photos I realise that I had wrongly named them and so that is where the error stemmed from.
How did I discover my mistake?
My husband has installed a security camera at our front door and so he has been using my phone to work out how I can get movement alerts etc to the app on my phone. As he handed me back my phone this morning, he asked ' What is that Palette Republic app on your phone'.
As soon as he said it, I knew I had made a mistake and couldn't wait to get onto my blog and correct it.
Here are a couple more photos from the Palette Republic app.
Sorry for the confusion, I suppose it has also stemmed from me trying to fit too much into my days. Some of the online courses are finished now, so I can settle down and concentrate on getting some of my work done.
Here is a little collage I made with my gelli printed and painted papers. Our front yard was full of these little toadstools this year. I took a lot of photos.
This is the photo that used as a reference.
It is a very realistic version of the photo and I want to get away from doing such realism. I would rather try to be more abstract and arty. The more I study art, I think that creating realism is a learned skill but why create it when there is a perfectly good photo of the same thing already!
That's my plan, anyway.
Bye for now,
Linda
That app looks wonderful (whatever it's called!). Alas I don't have one of those types of phones so not available to me. There are other ones online though that I have used. Don't ask me the names right now tho' because I'm totally not pulling them out of my brain.
ReplyDeleteI thought your comment about trying to be more abstract with your work interesting. I'm trying for the opposite and constantly searching for ways to make what I do look more like the photos I'm working from. This coming from one who has never had a day of art training in her life and it doing everything on a wing and a prayer!
Thanks Magpie Mumblings, I suppose we are all just on our own journey and trying to improve somehow. That's what makes life interesting!
