George Barret’s 18th-century paintings of the View of Powerscourt Waterfall (he painted several versions - one is in the National Gallery of Ireland and another is in the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool) as source material, to create drawings and paintings and develop digital 3-dimensional virtual landscapes.
Layered drawing (6 layers) of multiple digital images after ‘View of Powerscourt Waterfall’ by G. Barret 1760, created by changing the detail and contour parameters of the source image projecting the resultant images onto paper tracing them and then drawing over the traced images with ink.

Layered drawing (6 layers) of multiple digital images after ‘View of Powerscourt Waterfall’ by G. Barret 1760, created by changing the detail and contour parameters of the source image projecting the resultant images onto paper tracing them and then drawing over the traced images with ink cropped and blurred so that the computer program Blender can read it as a 3-D landscape.
