After one long year of work, Fashionista is finsihed. Over 80 hours spent and 78 seperate layers and blending modes in Photoshop CS5, I have finally completed the piece. It's actually very rewarding as it came out just as brilliant and beautiful as I had invisioned it. Multiple, custom-made art brushes were created from actual water color and acrylic paint samples from my canvasas, including custom illustrator vector brushes I designed from scratch. Full 405 seperate custom swatch color samples were saved to a swatch library for future use in color sampling for other projects. Let me know what you think. It would be much appreciated!
This will be the piece I will be submitting this summer in the 2011 Ventura County Fairgrounds professional Arts Building. it will be printed and mounted on streched canvas for the house, and professionally matted and framed with signature for the Professional Arts Division submission.
