I have been sharing my new addiction to texturing photos and now I have taken it a step further. I wanted to share some digital collage. The above image was my first attempt using 3 of my own photos. I used a beach sunset image, butterfly image, and a lake image. Then I added the text on top. I layered the images and played around with opacity, hue, and saturation.
For this one I used 3 images again. My chrysler building photo, my butterfly, and an image of some trees.
On this one I used some texture as well as 2 of my own photos. One was of a lake and some tree branches. I like what the texture does for this image.
These I did through trial and error as I don't really know what I am doing yet! I did mostly layering of the images similar to how I learned to add the texture. I am reading one of Susan Tuttle's books Digital Expressions which is great so far. If you are interested in learning about digital art using photoshop elements than I highly recommend it!
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!! xo
All of these ara just fabulous!
ReplyDeleteCathy these are all beautiful, the more you look the more you see in them. In the top one the butterfly's head almost looks like it could be a tall ship in the distance (use your imagination). I Love the way these turned out and as you know I am a big fan of black and white, these will all look wonderful framed.
ReplyDeletewow.....truly magnificent!! i'm so glad you're having so much fun with this.......it shows in your artwork!! xox
ReplyDeleteThey are truly beautiful Cathy! I agree with Marlene...the more you look the more you see. Lovely. I just got photoshop elements and really like it so far. Off to go look for that book. Happy weekend to you. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely and they still look like *you*! (sometimes digital work loses personality; this did not at all)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you're progressing so well with these!
XXOO~~

These are really beautiful! The last one is so atmospheric - gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteCathy, these are just great. Looks like a lot of fun. I don't know anything about digital expressions, but this really sounds like a lot of fun. Great job! Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteCathy, I love these, they are beautiful! I have Susan's book and I got Photoshop Elements for Christmas, but the school year is so busy, I have yet to get to either of them! You have inspired me to make some time- somehow!
ReplyDeleteYou are really creating beautiful art these days!
ReplyDeleteHi Cathy
