Some more digital art play

I just created a new (free from Joann's!) 8x8 photo book from Shutterfly called Reflections (you can click to see it).

I think this is #5 for this year! And it's only May. AND I'm awaiting the arrival of a new "big girl" camera! I'm having way too much fun :-)

no autumn here!

It's still HOT in Southern California. I went to Central Park yesterday in search of autumn. No fall colors there. So I created my own.

Don't drink the water. Digital photo manipulation.

Photoshop Elements 12 is filled with fun toys. The first day of class we covered "Quick" and "Guided" tools and techniques. The fun begins! I had to go to the beach for a photo shoot. Unfortunately due to a high ridge, I wasn't able to get to the water's edge ... that means I'll have to go to another beach soon!

 

 

These will be fun to journal on and further manipulate.

Happy Sunday

Altered Photos

Last week I took a class with Karen Michel on altered photos. These are some of the photos that I altered. Great class! I look forward to delving into this deeper.

Front and back covers of a little booklet

The sunflower had lots of background "noise" which I removed with sandpaper and painted. I changed the background of the angel photo with sandpaper scraping and paint.

In front of Notre Dame were lots of people that I changed to more "floral". The daisy had background stiff that I painted away.

The background of angel on the left was simply scrapped away. It doesn't need paint. The angel on the right was a mistake - some of my photos were in water and colors ran ... I like the way this colored on its very own :-).

Sydney was standing in front of a bookcase - very busy background. This isn't finished yet but I like the way it has transformed so far.

This was a photo filled with flowers. I want to do a little outlining of the focal flower and perhaps remove the doodled lines. The white around the flower is scraping with an awl.

On this one, i scraped away the car to at least try and blur it. I also added some of my own graffiti.

I love the way this photo looks really old. It too was in the pile of photos that ran.
