Hedy Lamarr watercolor - Timelapse painting
I have used quite a limited palet for this painting as the original photo is in black and white and contrasts are quite harsh and lots of darks. This is a bit challenging to paint in watercolour, but it's great fun. I hope you'll enjoy the video.
Hedy Lamarr was a fascinating person. She was not only an actress, but also an important inventor during the 2nd world war when she used her interest in science to aid in the defeat of Nazism. She co-created a frequency-hopping system to avoid the jamming of radio-controlled torpedoes, this was was achieved by using a piano roll.
Hedy received a US Patent in 1942, and she received a belated award in 1997 for her contributions by the Electronic Frontier Foundation. The system was later used as a basis for modern day technology like GPS, Bluetooth and wifi connections.
