Today's Photoshop Play!


I did the drawing for this a couple nights ago as well as some rough color fill in.  Yesterday, I finished a first version that incorporates two of my altered photos (unlike the normal four), and it had a much darker color scheme.  I initially posted a photo of that one until reworking it today and liking this one much better!

As part of today's rework, I've learned much more about Photoshop.  The "Layer via Copy" is a nice feature that allows for color correction of the base image that are altered by layers of different types of adjustments made to that layer when you don't use a mask.

I've also learned something about myself through the process on this project.  If the result of my work triggers any inkling of dissatisfaction or a sense that something just isn't quite right...the piece is not yet done, even if I've already worked on it a long time.

    Hi -- Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting! I just checked out yours and love what you're doing. I just bought Photoshop Elements but haven't gotten started yet -- it looks like you're a pro!

      You're welcome, and thank you for visiting my blog too. I'm not a pro with the software, but learning some neat stuff. Photoshop Elements will provide you with lots of capability. Let me know when you've got some things done that you want to share. I'd love to see what you do with it!

Final Wheel-throw Pottery Batch

With this batch, I have 73 successful wheel-thrown pots and bowls...wow!  That is aside from the nearly 40 fails.  So over four months of classes and practice, I've thrown over 110 vessels.  Florian Gadsby would be proud...as I've completed my first 100 throws that he advises getting done as soon as one can!  I owe some of my learning to him and his videos (on YouTube), and the rest to the instructors, staff and students at BHC (the place I've done my work at since June).  Thank you to all my teachers -- meaning all of you in one way or another!

New Project in Progress

I'm working on a new project with multiple layers and shapes of different colored organzas.  It is an interpretation of lighting on an ice rink...from a show I recently saw.  There is a lot more stitching to do, but I like how its coming along.  I'm learning organzas are not easy to work with especially when you layer them and have overlaid edges.  The fabric also tends to ravel easily.
