Experimenting with portraiture and mixed media. This is an iPhone capture that I cropped, enlarged, and then applied paint effects in varying degrees in PS.
I welcome input and critique on my experimentation!
Hey, good to see you again, Keviin! Hope you and your family have been well :) I can’t believe you took this with a cell phone. (Wow.) And it looks like you’ve got a little bit of fresco going on here. :) Well done with it all- especially the lighting. (And shadows. :)
Thanks so much, Birgitta! I did add the painterly feel to it in PS. Thanks so much for your kind words!
