Pixel Portraits Experiments
· 2 min read
First experiments making pixel portraits.
We've run a few Pixel Portraits making community events now. E.g. In Kendal Library and in Barrow Library.
But to figure out how to do it we made a few at home first using family to judge speed etc.
Jennie's Mum, visiting for xmas became our first subject. I had to remove the shadows from the photo.
Pixelated grandma!
After mixing the paint we all started painting squares with a pleasing range of perfectionism / slapdashism.
It took about an hour and a half and was really pleasing. Test passed.
