At first glance, the paintings painted by the British artist Rebecca Foster, resemble noisy, low-quality photographs or old, scanned prints. And then it seems that there is nothing interesting about them. But when you find out that Rebecca Foster paints them in an extremely unusual way, you are imbued with genuine interest in them, and respect for the artist. After all, how much effort is needed to paint portraits of thousands of tiny poppy seeds! Rebecca Foster is known in Britain and abroad as a talented food artist and is often approached by well-known brands in the food industry to advertise for them using the products they make. So, the girl already has experience in creating paintings from ketchup and steak, she used dishes traditional for Sunday breakfast for creativity, and now - poppy seeds. Many, many packets of poppy seeds.
The artist painted these paintings back in 2009 for the Hovis Poppy Campaign, and each illustration took about five hours. It seems that if in childhood a girl listened to her parents, who convinced her, like our parents each of us, that you cannot play with food, we would never see these incredible arts from poppy seeds.
As stated, Rebecca Foster paints custom-made paintings from other spices, condiments and foods. A portrait of Elvis made of crackers and cheesepaste, urban miniatures of ham, peas, bread and greens, and much more - on the site of the contemporary British artist Rebecca Foster.

Pictures are out of focus. Philip Barlow's unconventional painting
Lack of clear boundaries, lack of sharpness, blurry silhouettes - these are good reasons for a photographer to remove a bad shot and try to take a second or even a third take. Whereas the artist Philip Barlow spent months honing this technique, trying to make his paintings as blurry as possible, the boundaries are fuzzy, and the silhouettes resemble bright spots of indefinite shape. It seems that this is what the world looks like for a short-sighted person who has forgotten his glasses at home. And this is St
