Recreating a painting

[pixichik77]

Apologies. I am not sure if this is the appropriate forum, and furthermore I have yet to be able to upload photos, so I can merely post a link.

In any case, for a rendering class we had to recreate a painting first on canvas, and then in 3D with a real person (think the Keri lotion commercial, or "Pageant of the Masters" in So Cal). I chose a Guaguin, and above is the link to my 3D. Enjoy!

I may have further news on this as well, but I will update on that later (sorry)...

Ooohhh pretty!

Great job, thanks for sharing! What did you use for the hair/clothing to get the texture so perfect?

 

[pixichik77]

Thanks! The hair is model magic, and the clothing is a pillow case split down the side, cut down the center and folded back for the V neck. Then I painted them with acrylic paint.

Man I wish we did cool stuff like this in rendering. You can only draw sets and costumes so much.

This is super fun! I always got excited in makeup school when we got to do rendering stuff-put some of that college degree to use (but we never did anything cool like this).

What school/class is this from?

I've actually been planning a shoot lately based on some pointilist pieces, and one of toulouse lautrec's works. It's neat to see that other people have this idea too!

I am actually taking two rendering classes this term, one for makeup artists specifically and the other more costumes based. I loved the idea of recreating a painting in 3D, I've always wanted to see the Pageant of the Masters, the photos and video from it is amazing. In our class, one of the girls did a Talouse, another girl did the Mona Lisa, Warhol's Marilyn (all four), a frida Kahlo, a picasso, and a dahli; it's awesome, and so much fun. But a lot of work.

North Carolina School of the Arts, wig and makeup program

 

[martygreene]

are you in the undergrad program or the graduate? I'm actually very interested in what you think of the school/programme/professors/etc. as I'm looking at going back to school for my MFA, and NCSA is where I'm thinking of going, for wig/makeup design of course.

 

[pixichik77]

Undergrad. I moved from Southern California to go here, I wanted a bachelors degree. I like it very much, if you have specific questions, pm me anytime. I enjoy the variety and the volume of work we do, i'm currently on a student film, just finished the southeast world premier of the opera Our Town, etc, etc...

Do you know a girl named Melinda? I can't remember her last name, but I believe it started with a B. She should be a grad student and went to UAZ with me.

 

[pixichik77]

No Melinda in our department, what is her major?

 

[aeni]

Wigs. Maybe she graduated. She left UA in 04.

I just got the "it's a sure thing" news... my recreation was chosen to be in the Ben Nye catalog. It will either be on the inside front or the back cover. I didn't want to say anything until I knew for sure.

Congrats! That recreation is fantastic!
