Painting My Dreams
Uploaded: September 14, 2008
PS edits include: 2 images. A boat (tilted comp) docked at my dad's northwoods cabin - early morning light, water like glass. 2nd image: my hand against a white sheet of tag-board, window lighting. Boat image PS edits include: Paint filter dry brush-angled strokes, replaced color to selected areas, hue/contrast, sharpend, magic wand and clone tool to select colors to enhance, then applied texture filter for canvas effect. Slightly sharpened hand image, cut and merged photos. Added "paint" to brush with clone tool. Added light rendering at 2 o'clock-spotlight, then very slight crop. This was so much fun!! I really challanged myself to see if I could do this. I have always wanted to have time to "paint" and now I have in a totally unexpected way. Much less messy. To be more realistic, though, I should have splattered every color of paint (in PS) on my hand!! LOL....
