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...
