I used several layers of Bonnie's texture, Leafy Landscape, with different filters and blending modes applied to each. The photo is of a very old burying ground in West Roxbury, where I live. The final steps were to use some text brushes on the gravestones and some grunge brushes, both with color and as erasers to add some more overall texture. I love how the overhanging foliage looks kind of ghostly.
The overhang looks quite menacing and the whole piece is nicely atmospheric. Love it!
ReplyDeleteWonderful edit, and the writing is a nice touch. Cheers
ReplyDeleteI love the text brushes over the headstones and yes the texture does look kind of ghostly.
ReplyDeleteThe texture was just so perfect for this photograph. Very eerie looking.
ReplyDeletevery nice use of the textures- especially with the text brushes
ReplyDeletewhat a different interpretation of Bonnie's theme this week. I love it!
ReplyDeletewell done! I think this texture worked great for your graveyard scene and I like the text over the stones.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I love the various tones you were able to create!
ReplyDeleteLovely.
ReplyDeleteIt does look a little ghostly and would make a good Hallowe'en image!
ReplyDeleteI particularly like what you did with the grass - so many variations of green and textures. I also like the way you introduced orange into the foliage:)
ReplyDeleteGreat, Bonnies textureas are so fantastic to use.
