325/365 - Jim - Warhol Portrait

( f/11 105mm 1/125 sec ISO 200 Nikon D300 )

Courtney was reading my mind when she said I should do a Warhol portrait because that was my plan. Warhol did portraits by creating a large silk screen matte and putting that onto canvas, then painting in the areas with over the top colors. In some he also did some outlining of features, which is what I did here. I also applied some textures to give it a canvas look.

After going to the Andy Warhol Museum, I knew I wanted to do some similar art using Photoshop. I raided the cabinets for this can of soup to photograph. I was hoping for some tomato soup, but mushroom is all I could find. I don't even like mushrooms... Anyways, I used Photoshop to do the rest and make it look similar to an Andy Warhol painting.
