Embedded Files
For this project, we use a PIXLR X app. Pixlr is an image editing tool that helps users edit unlimited images and share them over different platforms. Pixlr comes in two versions, Pixlr X and Pixlr E, and both versions are AI-powered online photo editors, offering a professional look to the edited pictures
Project objective: Learn about drawing tools and their properties. Get familiar with the layers and learn how to manipulate them.

Follow these steps:
Find a good-quality photo of a famous painting. I recommend picking the one that is not too simple (e.g., the "Black Square" will not work), but doesn't have too many details either. Save it to your computer.
Place it in a new image on a separate layer.
Lock the layer and make the layer 50% transparent.
Create a new empty layer to paint on.
Open the BRUSH tool. Pick the needed color using Color Picker.
Choose the needed size and softness for the brush and start painting on the new layer.
Choose a new color, etc.
Remember: you don't have to copy ALL the details, but the recreated image needs to be recognizable.
