I created a recreation of Jackson Pollock's painting Blue Poles using Adobe Photoshop. I achieved this by creating multiple layers in Photoshop, viewing each layer by itself separately, and using the track pad to take one color from the panting and attempt to recreate the drip style. 

A problem with the painting in my opinions is because its digital the layers completely over shadow each other rather than mix like in Jackson's Work. Also because I was not using a Photoshop brush that mimicked what paint looks like when it drips out a can, the strokes are very clean and don't have the exact texture of the painting. Another problem I faced, was that the feeling that I achieved with my piece doesn't match Pollock's. The colors in my piece seem brighter than him and it looks less composed. I think with some time and effort one can recreate the Jackson style but I think one of the things that makes Jackson's pieces superb is their scale over a large canvas, the texture of the paint, how its not smooth over the canvas, and the addition of other objects that aren't paint. These three things, or the feelings associated with these things are not easily replicated by a digital work.
