Creating Beauty By Removing Uncertainty

March 12, 2015 by owfotografik

Good Morning, Yesterday I shared the design layer for this new piece and today I am sharing my illustration layer. I started with a small snip which was accidentally clipped from another piece I was working on. The small curves intrigued me so I used them to make a larger image. So I made the B&W layer and then started removing bits of white to show the Design layer beneath it. It is fun to create by removing rather than […]

Today’s layer is #6. I am LOVING this blue color. I used the color picker to choose a blue from my original design. Then I applied various layers of color modification via Photoshop. In total this Layer #6 has 5 sublayers that comprise the Blue. I am almost contemplating the Blue as it’s own picture. It is kind of mesmerizing to me. What do you think?

So I feel my way through the colors that I choose and the […]

In Order To Reach The Destination You Have to Start The Journey ~Omaste Witkowski

Today’s layer is #3. At this point I have my background design and my black and white illustration. I have the design as the bottom layer, then the b&w picture and now I start removing spaces to show the design underneath. I use the “magic wand” tool in Photoshop to select the areas of white that I want to remove. This leaves the black as a border and whatever is beneath what I have removed will show through. There is […]
