Yeah no. When I read the challenge I thought FUN! But no. This is not my style. I do not like my page. Let's just say I'm glad this one's done.

thank you for this challenge and all the tuto

I chose to make the photo b/w and the paint is all color...i added a duplicate layer of the paint to embellish it a bit more..

 

[weaselwatchr]

that is what she did ... she clipped her photo to the watercolor paint. i would say this would be acceptable ... it is watercolor paint and it was used as photo mask. but i'll see if we can get clarification.

My bad I didn't see she clipped the photo to the mask, which is why I wrote unless you clip your photo to the mask. Sorry.

 

[weaselwatchr]

The paint in this template is a separate layer that could easily have a photo clipped to it, so would definitely meet the requirements of the challenge. The technique we are trying to showcase here is simply taking a paint layer and clipping your photo to it so that your photo mimics the shape and faded edges of a streak of paint. You can add additional paint if you want, but you don't have to.

If anyone still has questions, please post them so we can make sure you guys are clear on the instructions before you finish your page!

Sorry I didn't see her photo clipped to the paint. I haven't had my morning coffee.

Fun

I used filters, recoloring and blending tools to accentuate the effect of the paint mask.

I never think to use this technique so this was a great reminder! The possibilities are endless. Thanks for a great challenge!

I chose this paper specifically to play with blending modes and colours.

Day 16 - Using Paint - Brushes As A Mask

I chose a black background and gold elements to keep the background elegant, yet not clash with the traditional Christmas colours of the train in the photo.

I love masks, use them on every art journal page

 

[meterr]

The layer that he shows that is the black scribbles would be equivalent to the paint or brush elements layer in Photoshop as far as I can tell. Can you use paint or brushes (or brush png's) in Paintshop Pro?

I use paint shop pro, and this is what I did!!
