Todays Task.

Todays task was sent out for us to make our own Hand coloured pictures.

We were sent outside to take a picture of a person as a straight up body shot. We were sent to take the picture infront of a wall so that the background would be suitable rather than a plain white background.

I decided to take my picture infront of a pub window because the interior around the edge look quite old so it thought this gave a nice effect.

If i was to do this again i would get Emily to stand infront of a sign or something, maybe not a wall just to be different than everyone else.

This is my second image I experimented on. I chose to do the background black as it would make the image of Emily stand out more. I started with a pastel dark pink when I added it to the black. I then chose to keep the colours quite dark as i thought this gave a positive effect on the picture. If i was to finish this off I would slightly darken the white on her top to mix in with the other colours used.

This is the outcome of my first picture i hand painted, I decided to change the background to red and a gold look because I think the colours gives it a royal look.

I decided to keep the scarf the same colour and the skin to make the black and white look effective.
