Here are the posters I generated in Photoshop using the two large paintings I described. I hope you’ll agree they go together surprisingly well considering the dissimilar landscapes involved.
Posterizing a picture greatly increases its impact. The process causes portions of the original
image that contained gradual colour transitions to be replaced by abrupt
changes in shading and gradation from one area of tone to another.
Specific
colour sets (roughly the same for both pictures) were assigned to these
sharply defined image portions. I mentioned I’d gotten so I didn’t even notice the paintings
anymore, even though they are full sheet size (~ 75 cm. in height) and hanging in our front hall… It’s
pretty hard not to notice these posters!
