Artist Research Erin Case

In these pictures, Erin takes the background image and blends it so that parts that stand out in the image line up with facial features. She only keeps her hair and certain clothing. She keeps her hair and features of the image related, so if she is wearing dark with dark hair, she will make the background dark. I like these pieces because they are quite abstract and different, they have a kind of natural feel to them but at the same time feeling unrealistic. She uses a mix of colours that are quite contrasted. She has used lots of layering and blending. The edges on her hair and clothes are perfectly cut out. they seem to be made to look a bit scruffy and not blended. She uses quite a lot of blue and purple based colours, she also uses red a bit. These pieces are quite close up. The background is usually natural and has the sky in it. All the background usually links up with the hair, facial features, and clothing. The colour seems to be quite saturated and the brightness seems to be quite low. I could take the idea of linking up facial features with the background.
