1. First, I used the Elliptical Marquee Tool to section off a piece of the image and then pressed Alt and Command to cut the section. I copied the section and then cut it. I then pasted the cut section onto a separate layer on the image with my eye, using Free Transform (Command and T) to reshape the section to fit into my eye.
2. I then clicked on FX, blending options and change the opacity of the section to 35%. This then made the section fade into the original image and my eye could be been much clearer.
3. I used the Magic Wand Tool to then select an area on the oceanic image which had the same colour balance throughout; I then used Alt and Command to cut that section out and copied it into the image with my eye, onto another layer.
4. I then clicked FX again and Blending Options, changing the opacity to 39%.
5. I then did the same thing again with a separate section of the oceanic image, except once I’d cut and pasted onto another layer onto my other image and changed it’s opacity to match that of the other sections, I clicked FX again and chose Drop Shadow, changing the opacity to suggest the edge of the water is going beneath the skin. I then added an Inner Shadow to the section before to deepen the shadow to suggest a deeper cut in the skin.
6. i then used the Brush Tool and changed the brush style to 94, I then chose the colour red and painted underneath the cut to match what did to her image.
In 1964, Sam Walsh created a portrait of Paul McCartney; titled ‘Mike’s Brother’ using oil on masonite and it’s dimensions being 1625mm by 1550mm. In 1992 the portrait was purchased and exhibited in the National Portrait Gallery in London. Walsh uses a range of skin tones including reds; purples, pinks and oranges, blending them in layers to create a more three dimensional element to the image. Using darker tones, he fills in the areas to the face where there is slight amount of light, adding layers to suggest areas of development where the areas get darker and darker. Walsh has used diagonal brush strokes coming from the far right down to the left. The oil has been watered down to give the image a ‘washed’ impression. The overall presentation of the portrait is interesting; how the strokes, tones and layers make it appear realistic. At a closer observation it’s obvious that the technique used for the features of the face; the eyes, nose, chin and ears are similar to the technique used by an older child, however Walsh has taken that aspect and in contrast, created a more ‘mature’ depiction of the Beatles’ singer.
