January 8: MOC Technique Challenge

Thanks for this challenge!

 

Here is mine!


My car on the road to Red Rock. I had 16 layers of blending changing the blend modes, and stacking them.

Fun to play with this challenge (even though I groaned when I first read it

 

I might have overworked this. I was having fun and it was hard to stop. I love the way every little layer change gave me a whole new look. At one point it looked like a massive fire storm with the fog becoming smoke but I took it back to the more tranquil misty morning for this..

 

Thanks for the fun challenge! I used 15 layers, using various masks, magic lights, watercolour brushes, and gesso.

 

Does anyone want to share more details on how you accomplished this? Did you resize each mask and place them in different locations under your photo? I didn’t think of that until my 5th layer. So after just a couple of layers my photo looked just like it did at the start, not beautifully varied layers. Even when I had played around with blend modes.

Probably I just have to play more. But if you have any advice to share about this technique, I’d be grateful! I’ve always loved photo masks and use them frequently. Can’t believe it never occurred to me to layer them.

 

16 layers of paint, I had a blast with this challenge.

 

This was fun!
I've used six different masks with photo and six different layers of paints and stamps interspersed amongst the layers. I varied opacities on some of the masks, added a distortion layer to one, and a concrete texture layer to the top photo/mask combo.

 

I resized my masks and placed them on different locations.
My resized my first mask to be smaller than the photo, then added other masks to make the borders different and the colours different through the blendmodes.
Also, when I used a (small) coloured paint, I tried blendingmodes on that as well as on the photo.

 

Did my best...

 

January 8 - Paint masks
This was an awesome challenge! Loved it so much.

 

I have to say that was so much fun - thanks for the new technique.

 

Great fun thank you! I think there are around 15 layers in there!
