- After Open a new document of 16 X 20 inches with 300 dpi, and place my sketch design into it.
- File > Place> Select image > Place.
- Then I go Edit > Transform > Scale to makes my sketch is properly place in the new document.
P/S: Hold down the SHIFT key when doing the scale part so that the sketch won't easily distort.
- I always start a new modification with a new duplicate layer so that I can easily delete on the modification part that I don't like.
- After duplicate the layer, in order to makes the colours of the sketch looks more darker than the initial sketch.
-Therefore, at the bottom right of the layer option, I choose "Mutiply" to get the darker color effect.
- Next, I doing some changes on the texture of the design
- Filter > Texture > Mosaic Tiles
- Then adjust the tiles size, the grout width and the lighten width according to the desire one.
- Click Ok and it's texturized.
BEFORE AFTER
- Open the new document as usual with the Width: 16 inches and Height: 20 inches and 300 dpi for the resolution.
- Hold down the "SHIFT" key to ensure that the sketch won't distort.
- Hold down the "SHIFT" key to select the small part of certain area that miss out.
- ZOOM in to look on the small area by holding ALT key with scrolling up the mouse.
- ZOOM out by holding the ALT key and scroll down the mouse.
- Press Q to see the area that are selected and use Eraser tool to modify the small part that are missed out.

Update: Research & Reference
CUBISM
- the joint invention of Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque
- In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context.
- Often the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles, removing a coherent sense of depth.
- The background and object planes interpenetrate one another to create the shallow ambiguous space, one of cubism's distinct characteristics.
GEORGES BRAQUE
- born on 13 May 1882- In 1902, he liked picture with the bright colors and unstructured forms (fauvism)
- Until 1908, he started to paint in cubist style
- he began to work with Pablo Picasso in 1909 and painted in a similar style
- began to use neutral colors and complex geometric patterns (analytic cubism)
- Between 1910 and 1912, Braque started to use a collage (collage: artist take things from everyday life.
Eg:newspaper, fabric, rope etc.)
- After 1914, he started to paint more on still lifes with the used of bright colors and textured surfaces.

The analysis of the design of Georges Braque:
Violin and Pitcher (1910)
Oil on canvas
46 x 28 3/4 in. (117 x 73 cm.)
Elements of design:
- Line: different kind of lines found on this design, mostly is curve and straight lines.
- Shape: is in geometric form.
- Direction: The lines in the direction of vertical gives the feeling of balance, alertness and formality and it also have horizontal lines that suggest calmness and stability. Oblique lines gives the sense of movement in this design
- Size: The size of violin is slightly bigger than the other object, It is this concrete rendering of the space around the highly fragmented objects that gives these paintings a sensation of almost unprecedented complexity.
- Colour: the color palette is monochromatic ( Monochromatic color schemes are derived from a single base hue, and extended using its shades, tones and hints.)
Principles of design:
- Balance: It is balance where the design is the mixture of dark and light tone.
- Repetition: Repetiton with different degree of variation.
- Contrast: The contrast achieved almost purely through the shadow and light. This lack of contrasting colours creates a flattening of space and makes the viewer aware of the picture plane.
- Harmony: It looks some complexity in this design and gives a feeling of tension.
- Dominance: The dominance mostly gives to the main object which is the violin. (An obvious clue is the painting's title and upon inspection the viewer can soon find the violin in the foreground and the pitcher somewhere in the midground.)
- Unity: It shows unity in this design where all the objects is related to each other.
- Gradation: It is dynamic, where it from dark tone to light tone and then back to dark tone.
Some of his paintings:
His early painting
Terrace of Hotel Mistral
L'Estaque [and Paris], autumn 1907

An Introduction of PHOTOREALISM
♥ a movement began in the late of 1960s
♥ evolved from pop art
♥ a genre of painting which cannot exist without photography
♥ direct copies of original photograph but usually will larger than the original one
♥ the style:
1. gather imagery & information with camera & photography
2. photograph slide developed
3. transfer image into canvas
♥ the painting appears to be very realistic like a photography
♥ Photorealist painters tended to imitate photographic images, often omitting or abstracting certain finite detail in order to maintain a consistent overall pictorial design.
♥ Photorealists frequently used a grid technique to enlarge a photograph and reduce each square to formal elements of design. Each grid was its own little work of art.
♥ Many of the Photorealists used the airbrush technique.
Richard Estes
♥ one of the founders of the International Photo-Realist movement in the late 1960s and 70s,
together with the painters Malcolm Morley, Chuck Close and Duane Hanson.
♥ early 1960s, most of his paintings were city dwellers that related to his daily activities
♥ around 1967, he started to paint storefronts and building with glass windows (reflected image included on these windows)
Telephone Booths (1968) Oil on canvas. Painting by Richard Estes
♥ He avoided using New York famous landmarks and habitually depicting urban landscapes
♥ He choose the images from the photographs that he took from different angles and light conditions at a particular scene that incorporated into the final painting.
"The reason I take a alot of photographs is to make up for the fact that one photograph really doesn't give me all the information I need. And painting is trickery because you can make people respond by guiding their eyes around the picture. The photograph doesn't do that because a camera doesn't have ideas. It can only reproduce." He said.
♥ He expanded the sensory range of the viewers in providing the fine details that are invisible to naked eyes
· Size -The size of the drawing goes narrow as it move to beyond.
· Texture is glossy where most of it is oil painting.

PEOPLE'S FLOWER (1971)

Baron Thyssen Collection
This is my analysis on the paintings of Richard Estes.
Elements of design:
· Line - The linear marks was made with brush and so the values of line is solid.
· Shape - The shape of the objects that painted are positive shapes while the space around the positive shape is negative shapes. The negative shapes in the design have alot of fine details and it's quite complicate.
· Direction All lines have direction. Horizontal suggests calmness, stability and tranquillity. Vertical gives a feeling of balance, formality and alertness. · Size -The size of the drawing goes narrow as it move to beyond.
· Texture is glossy where most of it is oil painting.
· Colour - Colour used tends to create emotion. Flat (analogous) colour used to create harmony.
· Tone - It consists of darkness and brightness where it contains of light and dark area in his painting.Principles of Design:
· Good Balance
· Gradation is static, It is usually starts from light to dark.
· Gradation is static, It is usually starts from light to dark.
· Repetition with variation makes the paintings more interesting. All the repetition elements involved different degree of variation.
· Contrast mostly in the direction of horizontal.
· It is Harmony where the similar elements or shapes combining.· Unity - the objects link to each other and the paintings looks smooth.
