Artistry Beyond The Camera Video Blog Series

4/24/2018

 
Picture
I'm expanding on my video library and creating a new video series for you guys!  Here's some information about the series:
"In this video series presented by Jai Johnson, a best-selling, multi-licensed wildlife artist and founder of The Daily Texture, you'll learn various tips, tricks, topics and more which will help you turn your own photos into artistic masterpieces.  You'll learn new ways to creatively express yourself.  You'll hear advice, gain inspiration, and things you've never even thought of to do with your photographs {even the bad ones!} will come to light.  Be sure to sign up for the mailing list to be notified when new episodes are released.  We hope you enjoy the journey into Artistry Beyond The Camera!"
The first two videos are now available here.  Each page features the video, notes, products used, and a close up look at the final art created in the video.  I've chosen a number of different topics to discuss, and you get to watch the creation of a work of art while I discuss them. :)  I hope they will give you new things to think about in regards to your photography and art, and I hope you'll find useful tidbits of information in each video.  --Jai

Creating Dream Big Little One

Enjoy This Video of Me Creating
"Dream Big Little One"

I've placed the two collections used in this video on sale until April 30, 2018...Enjoy!

Don't Toss Those "Bad" Photos

4/11/2018

 

I love to take images I wouldn't normally publish...

...and turn them into ART, using the image to tell a story or create a new scene, once paired with textures and backgrounds.  Such as this coyote photo I took of the animal walking away from me:
Picture
This photo normally wouldn't see the light of day.  But after using textures and backgrounds to create a new scene, it has now become a work of art:

Journey Into Moonlight
I used textures from the following collections in various layer modes and opacities:
​

The Timeless Collection {used as the new background, desaturated a bit}
The Celestial Collection {the moon}
The Velvet Winter Collection
The Stonewall Path Petite Collection
The Light in the Darkness Collection
and The Pearly Glimmer Collection

4/8/2018

 
Watch in this video how I blend a dove photo with textures, and then how I use Topaz Impression to create a more painterly image for the final art.  Enjoy!

Make Your Topaz Impression Paintings Even Better

4/6/2018

 
In this video, I give you a tip for bringing even more painterly qualities to your Topaz Impression paintings. And I ramble a little, but that's me... :)  Hope you enjoy it and find it helpful!

Don't Toss Those Far Away Photos

4/2/2018

 
Don't toss those "far away" photos! Instead, work them into the textures and backgrounds to create a unique background for your other projects.
And here's a finished work of art I created using the background I saved in the above video:

Happy Easter! {bet you expected an Easter bunny, huh? :) } I hope your day and every day after is blessed!

About the art: The River Otter was created using my 1st photo EVER taken of an otter, blended with textures from The Coastal Chaos Collection, The Deep Sea Collection, and The Canvas Play Collection. Topaz Impression was used as well to complete the final art.  Check them out below:
