Painting an Armenian soldier playing the piano
Quick study of a soldier playing an abandoned piano. The photograph was taken in 1992 by German Avagyan and I thought it would be an interesting picture to recreate.
The original photo was quite dull, I altered the colours and saturation to be more blue to create more contrast with the red piano. I started off with a high contrast black and white painting and added more mid tones, details and colours as it progressed.
I had been trying out some new brushes too but I often find that you can get pretty good results just using the standard brushes. I used some other tools in this piece including the Burn tool on the red piano and the blur tool in the background.
Thanks for looking!
Very interesting work, Jeremy! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks mate!
I think you brought drama into this, with the more pronounced colour palette :) Nice artistic reproduction, @jeremyrfk ! The animated gif really shows the art's journey well, too <3 Love it !
Thank you @veryspider!

Awww this is a sweet scene. It also reminds me of a movie that I feel complicated about. I like the movie but I don't like the director XD.
Anyway it has nothing to do with your lovely art. Very nice and evocative art, Jeremy ^_^.
