Project 2 Painted Illustration Deadline, Thursday, September 30

Alter the surface of and image with paint, vector and editing tools and filters.
The concept: Alter the color, texture and content of a  photograph to look like a hand made artwork, a drawing or a painting. The purpose: To become familiar with Photoshop’s tools, panels and commands. To experiment with Photoshop's painting and editing tools and filters while you create an illustration for a poem.

The goal of this project is to make the image look as though it is a hand-made artwork like a drawing, oil or acrylic painting, water color or other mixed media. Strive to convert the photographic quality into a wet or dry media illustration

2.  Choose appropriate images for the story. You may composite images from more than one photograph, and you may use images from the Web. 

3.  Duplicate the images background into a new layer or create an empty new layer.

4.  Alter the images surface texture with the painting and editing tools and filters.

5. Include as a title:  

The Knife Thrower by Stephen Millhauser
