This post is the first in the series for my senior studio II project at SCAD! I am looking forward to another great quarter.
For this project, I will be recreating a painting from a favorite artist of mine in CG. I have always loved landscapes, and the idea of translating one of these paintings into a CG image is really exciting to me. I first learned about this artist in a Baroque art history class I took in Fall 2022 at SCAD with Dr. Lindsay Alberts. The artist is Claude Lorrain.
I plan to use stock models and textures, and focus on lighting, look development, and compositing.
I have not officially decided which painting I would like to go with, but I saved a few as options and to show examples of the artistic style.

I really love the atmosphere and lighting in these paintings. I am excited to begin work on the project!
