Artist Statement:
Creating fantasy compositions that could pass as being real was difficult. In my first composition I wanted to create a fantastic theater scene bringing in a dragon and knight. This focus quickly changed to a focus on light and textures. I learned how to individually manipulate each layer's brightness and contrast which allowed me to bring out the texture of its scales. I enjoyed the happy accident of creating a reflection of two dancers i the grand piano.
The last two compositions have more of an urban focus. In the second composition I focused on making the water ripple as if the fish had actually jumped out of the water. I also tried to make the water look as if it was naturally reacting to other items such as the pilings, etc. I used the smudge tool. In the last composition I primarily focused on shadow and the effect of light coming through the branches of the tree in the center.
