Abstract Color

Hello everyone, welcome to my blog!  For this post, I'll be showing a work in progress image for an assignment for using non local color to affect an image's aesthetics.  I went into this project with an open mind and this is what's developed so far.



Here is the original photo that I took while on a trip in Las Vegas.  I loved the coloring and the detail of this picture so I decided to go with it for the assignment.


To recolor it, I wanted to give it a more spiritual quality to it, especially with the horse's wings and the eyes of both figures.  As of now, I'm just playing around with which colors work best to achieve the look and feel that I'm going for.  Brushes may or may not be used later on, but until then I am just changing up the colors by selecting and filling in certain parts of the picture.
