This is one of Andy Warhols famous pieces.
Before Warhol got into popart, what he was famous for, he discovered 'Blotted Line'. While he was at college he dicovered this technique and later used it for most of his work. It involves taping two pieces of paper together and palcing some ink on one page, then before it dries, push the two pieces together. The result was a picture with irregular lines which he would colour in with water colour.
It wasnt until later on in his career that he decided to try and do pop art. Pop art is mostly realistic renditions of everyday items. Least it was around the 1960's. At first Warol didnt know what to paint and found it a bit of a struggle. He began doing coke bottles and comic strips but he found his work wasnt getting enough attension. In December 1961 Warhol paid $50 to a friend of his who had told him she had a good idea. Her idea was for him to paint what he liked most in this world, whether it be money or a can of soup. Warhol did both.
Probably the most famous pieces if his work.
"Because I used to drink it. I used to have the same lunch every day, for twenty years, I guess, the same thing over and over again. Someone said my life has dominated me; I liked that idea"
Here is an image I made in photoshop using the same style as Andy warhol. To do this I used the cut out filter to give it that print kind of look.
Original
Here is a better version of an image in the same style as Andy Warhol. With this I applied the cutout filter again and a little of the pallette knife filter. I also changed the hue and saturation because I saw in a lot of Andy's images that his wernt the original colour.
