Artist statement: I have used Photoshop for many years, so I mostly wanted to, as the project is named, play for this assignment. My goal was to emulate a painted look while focusing on texture and color: hard and soft brushstrokes as well as warm and cool colors. I started with a basic, organic shape and built and subtracted from it using the brush and eraser tool. From there, I used different brush and layer modes to change colors and add textures into the piece. All of the images except for one (the clouds) are abstract pieces that focus on color opposites, so I suppose the overall theme of the set is contrast. I haven’t really had the chance to sit down and make art in a while, so my main goal was just to have fun!
