How can I find out about the process you use to do that?
Dale Houstman...

I don't know how they did it, but I've colorized lots of pictures using
Photoshop, and it's pretty easy, although it might take a little finesse
to get exactly what you want.

No offense intended to whoever did the work on that picture, especially
if they're only doing it for their own enjoyment, but that's a pretty
poor colorization job, at least by any professional standard. There's
one hue applied to the whole head - hair, eyes, lips, glasses,
highlights, shadows, everything.

You went to his website. That's all he really cares about.

not a bad job, really..............check out Andy Warhol
portraits.............art, eye of the beholder
Dale Houstman...
|
But the obvious intent here is to create a "realistic" portrait of a
person, and there is no actual attempt at art. I think the success or
non-success of the image has to be judged by different standards than
one might aplly to Warhol, or to Gaugin's "Yellow Christ" or Franz
Marc's "Blue Horse".

Another Franz Marc fan??
Dale Houstman...
|
Sure. Not my favorite, but certainly a good'un. My "favorite painters"?
Hard to say, but there's Magritte, Max Ernst, Schwitters, Hieronymous
Bosch, Blake, Pollack, Gorky, Turner, Whistler, Van Gogh, Hopper, and a
hundred or so more...

|
Not bad... I'd add Titian, Rembrandt, Goya, Constable, Monet, Uccello,
Ryder, Marin, DeKooning, Rothko, Vermeer, Caravaggio, Soutine,
Bierstadt, FitzH Lane and El Greco. All aboard!

I absolutely LOVE 'children's' art...it is MAGICAL. I have a large
collection.

I guess for me one of the most outstanding things about Marc was how he was
progressing and then was cut short at a very early age by WWI. Still, his
influence on German -- and other -- painters after he died was tremendous.
I can't help thinking "if you like Kandinski, you'd love Marc" --
especially if he had lived past a senseless war.

Oh, everybody's a Franz Marc fan nowadays. I can't turn on the TV
without hearing "Franz Marc this" or "Franz Marc that."
Dale Houstman...

There's going to be a sitcom about him and his friend next year, called
"Der Blau Pferd" and starring Scott Baio as Franz. I hope Penny Marshall
is involved, but she's busy with her Rimbaud biopic, starring Robin
Williams as Verlaine. No word yet on the title actor, but I'm pulling
for John Goodman.
abe slaney...
|
Rimbaud was biopic? Well that explains a lot!

Bernie Woodham...

Yeah. You can tell it was colorized, but it's not a bad effort. I'd feel
pretty good about it if I could do as well.
I have a copy of the colorized 1933 King Kong. The Lennon pic looks a lot

Love it when the color bleeds off the image.............art in itself
|
better than that film.

Yes...I have a hard time trying to color inside the lines with a silly
'mouse'...

Everyone knows color wasn't invented until about 1966. ;-)
