I’m playing with Adobe Photoshop and some of the charcoal drawings I did during the first lockdown 2 years ago, using Gradient Map and a selection of Artistic Filters. The originals are in black and white and it’s expanding my imagination to change them into colour and try out some different effects.
I suppose in the old days, artists would bring their sketches back to their studio and work up some colour studies with paint. To be honest, I’m too lazy to get the paints out so having digital paint to play with suits me fine.
I did the original sketch in the Oystermouth Castle park. It’s a gorgeous place but such a violent history.

The colors look very Asian. What a gorgeous intense red. Changes the motif radically, doesn’t it. Color is a force.
Thanks Aletha, I’ve not really considered this process seriously before, but it’s interesting to see new directions emerging
