Autumn Leaves, after Millais

Done using a Wacom tablet and Mac Paintbrush app.

Some explanation, I used Millais's painting as a found object, the Wacom tablet and it's pen did not allow me to make a 'copy' since it is not designed for that purpose, rather it gave me a template, I then employed a process used by many others, ie to let mistakes in the technical process create unintended consequences, just as mistakes in silk screening created some of Warhol's famous pictures, here a mistake in using a simple paintbrush app has created new ideas within the image.

Interesting experiment, Ross. I'm wondering, now, how such an experiment would work using my ArtRage & mouse---and I might, eventually, give it a try. All best! Patricia Edited to add: P.S. Of course, Van Gogh didn't copy Mallais. Instead, he was influenced by the work of Jean-François Millet: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copies_by_Vincent_van_Gogh |

Thanks for commenting, I have edited out my reference to Van Gogh, got that wrong!! cheers Ross |
Hi Ross. I enjoy how you have created a sense of depth with only line and flat color. By connecting the 3 shapes in the background to the horizon line, trees start to read as a cityscape, making them even more distant. I find the off-center, off-kilter placement of the main image interesting too, as if the image was a falling leaf wafting over the page. Nice work.

thanks Sharon, I've done a few of these based on different artists, an Aussie artist Brett Whiteley used to often do a drawing where the drawing pad was in the drawing, hence although it was a mistake I left the outline of the tracing in the picture, it didn't occur to me it looked like a falling leaf, all a happy accident,
cheers Ross |
I'd love to see some of your others, Ross.
