MY STUDY
This is a study I did aboutJulian Opie. i used my portrait photo as a reference to create this study.
In the study I used many features that belong to Julian Opie's art. One of the things I did was to make the eyes in my portrait look like the eyes in Julian Opie's art. The reason why I did this was because I think that the eyes are the most recognisable in Opie's work.
