Underneath is a layer of brown colours making up the image, just like i&#8217;d do with a pencil drawing. On top of the brown single colour I added the real colours. The brown was simply there to show me where to apply the shading.<\/p>\n<p>The idea of the subject is that I have always been annoyed with the word &#8220;Nature talent&#8221;. In danish at least this implies that one is born with a natural gift for something and therefore need not work or practice to hone that skill. I disagree strongly with this as I believe there is no talent without practice. However I will agree that the boundary between &#8220;Natural advantage&#8221; and &#8220;Natural talent&#8221; is a little blurry. For example: A cheetah has an advantage in a race if the opponent is a turtle. The purpose of this project is to stir the line thus creating the discussion. In the end I think I will be satisfied with agreeing that being good at something does not come out of thin air. Even if your body has an advantage you still need the practice.<\/p>\n<p>To illustrate this I scrambled some pictures of animals up in Photoshop. The pictures are all taken in the Copenhagen Zoo.<\/p>\n<p>This is the original photo manipulation:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wp2.treeprincess.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/bear.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-108\" src=\"http:\/\/wp2.treeprincess.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/bear-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"polarbear photo manipulation\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wp.treeprincess.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/bear-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/wp.treeprincess.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/bear-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/wp2.treeprincess.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/bear-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-107\" src=\"http:\/\/wp2.treeprincess.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/bear-copy-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Nature Talent Polar Bear photo\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wp.treeprincess.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/bear-copy-300x169.jpg 300w, http:\/\/wp.treeprincess.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/bear-copy-1024x576.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Materials: 1x1m wooden board, brush and acryllics.
