The painting I used to crop my face into is called Time Flies by Frida Kahlo. I chose this painting because I have always loved Kahlo’s work and the idea she has of purity of herself. She doesn’t try to alter her facial hair and often embodies strength in her paintings. To edit my face onto the painting, I first had to take a color swatch of the painting’s face and a color swatch from mine. From here you use the color curve to obtain the color numbers. Changing the output of the numbers allowed for my face to have a mask layer that matches the color of Kahlo’s. After this, parts on my face were deleted and the obscurity was played with to get a proportional picture. From here, the polygon tool was used to add texture and color back into the picture.
