An Ode to Rockwell Composite Course
Americana... in pixels
As a long-time fan of Rockwell, my daughters and I wanted to do a composite inspired by his famous Triple Self Portrait. From a Photoshop perspective, I liked this as it would allow me to flex both my compositing and digital painting skills.
So off to some thrift stores we went, collecting props and costume items we could use. We then turned our living room into a make-shift photo studio and took a bunch of photos. And then came the best part—Photoshop magic! Hours melted as we brought our captures to life on the digital canvas.
