I wanted to post two images that are similar but have different looks due to the processing and the texture(s) chosen...
This first image is done with two textures: Kim Klassen's roidlove and a grungy texture called All Hell Breaks Loose from Shadowhouse Creations. This processing and texture gives it a very grungy and gritty look, but also gives it a look of an old photograph damaged by age and exposure to the elements.
This same image has been processed much paler, with much more of a light, airy look with a painterly texture again from Shadowhouse Creations.
I've adored all the classes I've taken from Kim and will continue to take. She is so generous and I will never be able to measure all I have learned from her...and how much I will learn from her in the future.
I started another class on blending and textures by Linda Sattgast to get an additional perspective.
Here's a photo I did in the first week of her class...using one of the textures she provided. The focus of the lesson was having a white/light background and putting a texture over it, using a blend mode of Darken (not one I would normally have thought to use).
To be honest, I'm a class junkie. I'm taking four right now at one time...and I am always tempted to take more...but I hold myself back. Can anyone relate?
But I love learning...and sharing it with you all, as well. Thanks for indulging me...
Oh Denise, each one is simply stunning! Love them all. I'm on the email list from Linda, but haven't tried her class yet, simply because I'm a KK Class Junkie (I had 3 going at once)...whoa Nellie! I had to take a break, but it is good to have new perspective, and then blend it all to become "you". Blessings to you this week with all you are dealing with!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful!!! I wanted to take the class from Linda, but couldn't swing it at this time. Hopefully next time around. :)
ReplyDeleteI really love the first photo. I thought I was the only nut taking 4 classes right now. Thanks for joining me.
ReplyDeleteRoxi - Sometimes you feel like a nut...sometimes you don't! :)
DeleteLove them all - from one class junkie to another. Although you have it worst than I at them moment. I'm only doing three :)
ReplyDeleteOk they are all wonderful but as a grunge loving class junkie I adore the last one .. I'm taking art of blending too it's very interesting....
ReplyDeleteHi Denise...I have to admit that i have become a eclass junkie too! I really need to hold back just alittle so i can really immerse myself into each class. I love all your photos, but esp. the last from your new class...hmmmm...maybe i need to check it out?

ReplyDeleteHi Denise, all of theme are wonderfull, i love the background you have choosen.
ReplyDeleteDenise, I am loving the new grunge textures you are using...very exciting. I think it is great you are taking a class from some different...because like you said, it will give you a different perspective on photography and art. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love all your versions!
ReplyDeleteI too enjoy online classes, and feel a special connection to my fellow Groupies, thanks to Kim! I do learn from and am inspired by your blog - on many levels. Thank you for sharing!

There's so much to learn -- and every class gives you something different. I love your different takes. Right now I'm addicted to creative love courses - I love the in-depth video. Think I'll keep doing this for a while. I'm learning so much so quickly.
ReplyDeleteYou did a beautiful job with each edit. On line classes are so much fun and the more the merrier.
ReplyDeleteHydrangeas are one of my fav flowers. And your photographs are beautiful :)
