Photoshop Creative

Believe Chas will be back soon. In the meantime ---
Change a blend mode, play with a filter ..... anything goes as "ART".
Post as many images as you wish.

Structure found at Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center
Blends of dry brush, spatter & texture ---

That's very pretty, Betty.
If I ever visit Austin that place is on my list.

Here's my effort for the week:


Rusty

Fantastic, BJ. There are so many photo ops there, I loved it all.
Rusty, love the art. Please share the technique!?!?!?!

This is the 1st 'art' I've done in ages. Have taken photos but they just sit around taking up space.

Just another beach scene that made me think of a painting.

Wow, Tennie, you really have a way with textures and blending! I love it. Any chance you'd be willing to make a tutorial of what you did for that photo?

Betty, very pretty photo and treatment.

Rusty, a cutie for a subject. I am guessing you used one of Christell's techniques?

Courtney

Tennie, that is beautiful. I, too, would like to know your technique for this picture. Your beach scene lends itself well to your painting process.

eggs actly , just a havin fun- created.

Love da beach!
The egg is cool.
Tennie, I used the pattern stamp... a technique I described earlier this year:
viewtopic.php?f=18&t=9624

For this particular image I used Topaz Simplify 4 to construct both of the layers used to construct the finished product. My layer stack looked like this:

The second layer, "Oil Painting", is what I used to define the pattern. The top layer, "Light Pencil", is where I was clicking with the pattern stamp.

Rusty

Thanks, Rusty! I'd forgotten about the pattern stamp...used to be one of my favorite techniques.

And thanks all for the nice comments on my art. I'll try to remember the basics of what I did, but usually lots of trial and error. Thankfully digital 'erasing' is easy. Perhaps this weekend.

If still interested in my 'how I did it'....was simpler than I remembered. First I simplified (used Topaz clean, but any process would work). Then I tried multiple textures and wasn't happy with any so I ran it through DAP (any paint program would do) and dropped the opacity on that leaving more detail but still a painterly look.
