    It took me three tries on three different pictures to get something I was happy with. A perfect technique challenge!

    I was so excited to see this challenge yesterday morning, but off to church and the day I had to go... When I got back to it late in the day I figured it was going to be a snap as I patted myself on the back... I actually fully understood the directions, and so many people had so many issues all resolved, which was totally impressive... thus I was totally blindsided to find myself unable to select the individual squares... I KNEW how that tool worked... use it all the time, but it was selecting the whole page...even though my lines were clearly there... finally started working backwards... NO idea how many hours before I discovered that the check mark for preserve transparency needs to be turned off, when filling the lines... my default is checked... I don't think this was mentioned anyplace... just one of those tiny things that has to be right! anyway, then I was able to move on... was really late when I finished and I wasn't sure which version I preferred so I waited till this morning to make up my mind and post... I used green, red gold and purple for my colors...

    Finally using an effect and a wordaround in PSE, I did it. It isn't perfect but it is there. The colors are pink, brown, grey and black and white. the last 2 colors are left side lower and center square. After 2 days, I figured I would leave well enough alone. I used NBK art Crush 22

    Well ... I guess it is good to learn something new. I'm not particularly happy with how this turned out. Maybe I used the wrong photo or I just didn't quite do the technique right .... I may try this again later, but for now I have a page completed.

    I was able to do it in Affinity on my iPad. Created a grid by duplicating boxes. Gave a white outline to each box and set the blend mode to multiply. Then highlight the boxes you want to color and change the color.

    I always look forward to your technique challenges and this one was no exception. I look forward to trying this again with a more graphic photo but this was the best I could come up with for the album I am currently working on. I'm happy with it none the less. Thanks again for the fun challenge:

    I *KNEW* I'd see inspiration in this thread that would make me glad to know this technique! I am so happy to feel at home in a place brewing with SO.MANY. creative people.

    What I'm taking away thus far... I personally am drawn to more that are black and white photos, and where the colorizing is more thoughtfully placed, and/or blend modes make it not quite as drastic as my page. I think it will make an excellent travel book cover, or other album type cover. Such a great thing to know, or to have brewing in my brain! Thanks again, Jan! :beat

    This was fairly simple though a little labor intensive to create in Affinity on the iPad. Really glad to have this challenge, I learned a few tricks. My colors were red, green and gold.
