I found the original image "Hunter's moon" on google and then I tried to replicate it. The tool I used most was the dropper tool where I opened up the original image in Gimp and then used the dropper to take the original colors from the first image in order to make the paintings look more alike. In the original had a slight pink color around the edges of the moon and the clouds and I was able to get that exact color in my painting. The trees around the edges are supposed to be spruce trees, but they were really hard to draw, sooo thats what they ended up looking like. I used the smudge tool a lot as well.

Amanda this looks really nice! This dropper tool sounds pretty cool, how do you use it?
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool Amanda. It conveys the nighttime sky in a spruce-fir forest really well very dark spooky and beautiful. Good explanation of using the dropper tool too to select colors. Isn't Gimp Awesome?!
ReplyDeleteGreat use of dropper. I love what you did with the trees. Great Detail.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a view seen from an icy winter window. I love all the blurry edges. It makes something that could be really cold and stark seem somehow warm - as if the inside of the window is melting the ice coating outside. Mrs. Grover
ReplyDeleteAmanda, This looks like tonight! Clear, crisp, and COLD! You did a great job. Mrs. Lammert

To use the dropper tool you just open the picture you want to get color from in gimp as a project. Then you select the dropper tool and click on the part of the picture you want to copy. Then you just select a paint brush and use it on your new file.
