Description

A woman in a flowery dress flies a brightly colored kite from atop a grassy hill full of spring wild flowers. The kite is diamond shape with a tail of red ribbons. The springtime winds that lift the kite also picks up the folds of the dress and the woman's long brown hair. A few puffy white clouds drift lazily through the deep blue of the sky.

With winter ending here, I felt like making an artwork to fit the season. Where I live, people flying kites is a sign of spring. In the metro Atlanta area, March and April about the only time of year when the winds are right for it.

About how I create my artwork:

Rather than traditional forms of art such as painting or photography, I use a computer to create my images., It's called 3D Rendering and works like so: I make a scene by sculpting and arranging digital models in a virtual 3D space., After stipulating lighting and atmospheric effects, I have the computer create a simulated environment from which I take a virtual snap shot of the scene. Then, using image editing software and something more akin to traditional painting techniques (via a Wacom tablet), I go over the work adjusting colors, adding brushwork, painting in details, etc. to produce the final image. Software I use includes: Sculptris ZBrush, Blender3d, Vue, Daz Studio, and GIMP.


Thanks for looking!
