JAN 27 - Paintstroke Picture

I'm hoping this meets the requirements. Honestly, when instructions are given in Photoshop terms, I hear "mwah mwah mwah" because it means nothing to me.

I used the canvas paper, gesso 1, 5, 7, 9 and paintstrokes 2 & 4. I used a canvas filter on the photo as well as blending it. I also applied a color gradient to the photo and to one of the paintstrokes. I did add a mask layer.

 

I used Gesso Paint 1, 4 and 7 and Paint Stroke 2, 3, 4 and 5

 

I used R. Jefferies tiny problem template
I installed the NBK brushes and used paintstroke blue; gesso paint brown and paintstroke paint and I used the oilpaint paper

 

What a fun challenge. I used the paint strokes ON my picture and also on my layout.



Here's the black & white picture that I started out with.

 

@Dalis I had to create this in Artisan 5 since I don't use PSE or PS. So used the canvas as the background, gesso 6,7,8 and paint 2,3,4. I hope I did it right with what I have for tools

 

I appreciated your "breathe in, breathe out" instruction for this one Dalis haha I loved challenging myself and learning something new. The paint strokes were so much fun to play with! I love how my page turned out. Thank you Nicole for the free goodies!

 

Paint strokes 2, 3, 4, 8

 

Here's mine. I used dynamic brush, gesso and paint stroke from kit then used a NBK artCrush paper to add even more paint. Thanks for the challenge.

 

Used
Oil Paint PP, Paintstroke #7, Gesso Paint #8, and Paintstroke #4

 

I used on the photo - Drop 2 on bottom of skirt (dots on skirt)--The skirt is made with paint strokes red brush. The belts is made with paint stroke 9. Paint stroke 1 is used for sun image-upper right of photo.
The whole photo is blended (multiply) with paper canvas.

Thanks for a fun and challenging prompt and thank you to NBK Designs for sharing the mini-kit. I'm still a novice at brushes but I look forward to learning how to use them more and more. I used the Gesso Paints Brown brush, the paintstroke gelb, and the paint stroke blue brush.

 

First of all a big thank you to Nicole for the fun kit.... Lots of things I will use again and again.... I wasn't quite sure where to start with this one.. Everyone seemed to jump right in , to me painting with texture is just that... Texture, not color ... so I was thrown by adding color... I wanted to add texture to my photo and nothing more.. I ended up masking the whole photo and painting it back in with a variety of the brushes... Then I took some of the paint and gesso from the other folders and blended a few of them here and there. One paint smear went on top and was blended with Divide which turned it white... and some of the Gesso pieces I tucked behind the edges to extend them and blended them till they looked right... As I have said,... this is my sort of challenge and I had a ball playing with it...

 

Thank you for the kit! This was a tough one, hope I did it right! I used Paint Strokes 3, 5, 9 on photo, 2 on background paper and canvas paper. I painted my main photo then cut and added a clear photo of Nolan on top, hope that is ok. My main photo is all paint-stroked.

 

I would have a hard time saying exactly what I used where, but the canvas paper, gesso paints 2,3,4 & 5 + some of the paint brushes. I created a mask from some of the paint strokes and used a multiply blend mode on that so that the canvas paper would show through the photo.
I added paint stokes and the gesso paints on top with mostly hard light blend mode and some reduced opacity.

 

On all of my photos I used:

1. Oil Paint Paper with Linear Burn blend mode and opacity reduced to 48%
2. Canvas Paper with Multiply blend mode and reduced to 41% opacity
3. Gesso Paints #8 with Soft Light blend mode at full opacity
4. Paint drops #1 (paintstrokes) used as is with paper clipped to them

 

This is not my usual style but I finally was able to get a layout done with my limited supplies as I'm new here. I used two papers and paint stroke 5 a number of times.
