November 2020 Challenge:

​Inspired by a painting

In this challenge club members are encouraged to select a painting that they really like and emulate or adapt it in a photograph. 

1. Pick an artist, can be famously known, or a local artist( or your own painting) – must be a painter
2. Pick a piece of their work and either screen capture or take a photo of the piece you are going to work from and include it when you send your image in
3. Your image can be anything that you are inspired from the painting to take or do. Perhaps you try and do a photo copy of the image ie your inspiration piece is a lovely painted farm scene- go out and photograph a farm scene that is similar. Or perhaps you are inspired by Van Gogh’s Starry Night – take a stormy day picture and in photoshop swirl the clouds. Or your inspiration picture is a still life painting of several objects – set up some similar objects and take a photograph of them... Be inventive it is YOUR interpretation of the painting so it doesn’t even have to be similar at all... maybe Van Gogh’s Starry Night inspires you to go out and take an image of the Milky Way just because of the title not the actual painting... 

 
This challenge is due by November 30, 2020.  Just send your 2 items ( the inspiration piece and your image) to me with the subject line being “Inspired By” - barborangeville@gmail.com
 
Try and push yourself ... if you like to photograph nature scenes don’t just emulate a painted nature scene, try something modern and crazy or do something creative in photoshop with one of your nature scenes...
 
DO NOT TURN YOUR IMAGE INTO A PAINTERLY EFFECT IN PHOTOSHOP... that’s for another challenge down the road when we do creative images.
