We've always enjoyed doing montages, particularly "grid" montages. They are not especially difficult or challenging, more so time intensive. One begins by building around one (or two) favorite photographs and repeating/repeating - repeat again, from there. Our program of choice is always Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop), but I'd think this could be done with many available art programs. Once the main image is chosen, it is resized, smaller/larger/randomly into strips and the individual images within each strip can be color tinted, desaturated, flipped, or filtered using tools or techniques available in your art program. Time intensive: you simply work the picture, repeating, until you have a final product that you're happy with ...
BELOW: Left, a past image from our Art Gallery files of Dougie Dog, using two photos and primarily doing pastel color tinting. Right, a past image of Angel Zoey, featuring her in black and white centered, surrounded the the same photo in varying tones of sepia. These two past pictures encouraged me to try a grid montage for polka dot June for Caturday Art today.

Love all the montages but especially yours, Juney!
ReplyDeleteVery nice. Our #1 is a bit stupid when it comes to image manipulation.

Marvelous montages! And June, I think I like yours best all, such an intense gaze!
ReplyDeleteThose grid montages look great.
ReplyDeletethese are really cool. LOVE our Polk dot girl, June
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute collage of your picture, June.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are pawsome!
ReplyDeleteSuch sweet collages!
ReplyDeleteJune what lovely Caturday art!!

Very nicely done! It sounds like you go through a lot more work than I do to produce your effect. I only use preset filters which require very little effort. You're not the CB Graphic Designer for nothin'!
ReplyDeleteSuch totally amazing and beautiful art!
ReplyDeleteI've seen the other two before. That one with June is also very pretty. Every time I try to do something different with a picture it's time consuming, LOL!
ReplyDeleteCool!
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see Dougie there today. Your Mom does such beautiful artwork, June. The collage of you is just exquisite.

ReplyDeleteWe are loving those grid montages, Juney and Mom. You look adorable as always, Juney. And how nice to see Dougie and Angel Zoey, too. XO
ReplyDeleteThose are so fun! Lee and Phod
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me as it's totally beyond my skill set. I really like how yours turn out, too.
ReplyDeleteLulu: "These collages are very cool and artistic!"
