Week 9 was all about trying out and learning new techniques in Photoshop. I was inspired by this piece of art by Rabi Khan found on Saatchi Art online via Pinterest.
I loved how the tulips in the inspiration piece appeared to be melting down the canvas. So I went through my collection of images to find something colorful to use to try and mimic this technique. I discovered an image I captured back in 2011 of colorful tulips growing in a nursery I went to while visiting friends in Idaho.
Basically I used the Liquify Filter in Photoshop to manipulate or pull down the tulips after using an action to render the flowers as a painting. Personally I liked the results and plan to play with other landscape images from my archives in similar fashion when I get the time.
