For both Projects: I used Photoshop to create my surrealism themed paintings. My theme was books, specifically various books I love. In the first painting, I focused on how books feel as if they come to life when reading; the characters we love and the elements of stories that fascinate us seem as if they jump off the page into reality. The second painting focuses on the feeling of getting lost in a book. I used double exposure to create a dreamy background with words. somewhat serving as an allusion to falling down a rabbit hole in "Alice in Wonderland." I wanted each painting in the series to have the dream-like feel often depicted in Surrealist paintings.
