Just in case…

Just in case you thought I’d forgotten to play digital, I had a little break from essay writing tonight and played with gradients and blending.

First I made it in colour…

… and then I desaturated it to turn it black and white. I can’t decide which one I like best. Which one do you prefer?

More Winter Flowers!

It must be the effect of all the dull winter days at the moment, I just keep wanting to play with flower images, so here are some more winter flowers!

I started off by stencilling the big flowers onto the watercolour paper using acrylic paint – messy, but fun! Then I added some more flowers using clear stamps and a mixture of Staz-on ink pads and distress ink pads. Lastly I scanned the image into the computer, added some more greenery with digital brushes and some more background colour using gradients and blending.
