An Old Building ~ Texture Tuesday

Out and about on Sunday...roaming rural Ohio with camera next to me on the front seat...I found this great old building...


I'm not sure what it had been...or what it is now...as you can see there's a light on the landing. Regardless...it's perfect for Texture Tuesday.


This is a black and white version with layer of Kim's distressed 2 at Linear Burn blend mode at 66%.


From a front view with a layer of Kim's allard at Color Burn blend mode at 65%  Brush used from Shadowhouse Creations.

Nice grungy, vintage looks...almost haunting!

Have a terrific Tuesday!

More Hydrangeas and Texture Tuesday

Another Texture Tuesday rolls around...

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...
