Red Bird (Digital Woodcut)



A little over a week ago (April 6), I was standing in the kitchen when I saw a bright red bird sitting in the tree outside the window. I loved the way it looked against my neighbors' yellow house. I grabbed my iPhone and took a quick picture through the blinds before the bird flew away. I didn't get a chance to zoom in or focus. So of course, when I cropped the image to emphasize the bird, the focus was too soft. So I opened the image in Painter and posterized it. Then I applied a woodcut effect to the posterized version (instead of the original) because it is possible to get brighter colors that way.
