To create these colour effects I used photoshop. To start I had to crop the selected images then paste them on a white sheet for that I had to change the image to layer then the copy and finally the pasted on the sheet. Then when the images were well placed I started with the colour. For that I select a layer then create a black and white mask. The problem is when we create a mask the software selects all the images so to cancel it I double clicked to have the option “create clipping mask” which selects only the chosen image. After that I chose the colour I wanted. But as I wanted the background to be a different colour than me I had to erase the colour on me and for that I use the “brush tool”. In the end to have colour on me I repeat the same process

Comparison


The first thing we notice is that they are roughly the same style just what I was looking for. We can notice the same colours as: pink, purple, red, green and blue. The work of Andy Warhol has several colour contrasts, you can see it on the hair, the skin, the background and the make-up of Marilyn Monroe. On my work I wanted to have a shadow so that when I change it colour, the shadow will change the colour to darker. However we have one thing in common and it is always the same poses what is done on purpose.
