My Best Paintings from Photos

About the Book

My Best Paintings from Photos is a collection of pictures and paintings inspired by the author’s love for drawing and painting. In this book, readers will find the author’s twofold task—photo shooting and image manipulation. Throughout this compilation, they will see up to ten images, which are part of a group. Thus, one original and nine manipulations of this original. That is the first part of the book. The second part shows how the author transformed his sketches into paintings—after scanning the pictures, he started painting with the use of various art programs. Also filled with various reviews from different people, this book is a concrete manifestation of the author’s finesse and creativity in showcasing his knack in the field of art and painting.

“I like the graphic design of your image very much and the way you abstracted, it is actually much more compelling than the original photo,” said one of the author’s teachers referring to one of Delhaise’s works.
