Found Memories Art

Being the further misadventures of an artist, her camera, some rotating art supplies, and a mind that wanders and roams while her feet stay pretty much in the same place (unfortunately)!
Found Memories Art is where you'll find a little something about collage, mixed media, and photos. Maybe a bit of life here in an old log cabin in the woods thrown in for fun.
Just a hint: click on the pics to see them better!

Another Digital Collage

brought to you by the Freebies of Elizabeth!

Elizabeth has been talking about posterization which I have never taken to much. But she has done some wonderful digital collages featuring posteriztion that had me ready to give it a whirl.

I used one of the Sophie Anderson portraits that Elizabeth had posted this week as the main subject ...obviously!!

The background is one of my canvases that I posterized a couple of times after some color tweaking. Then I duplicated the layer and fiddled with the layer style a bit. Finally added brush work and then type and another brush. And the end!

Be SURE to click it to get all the color of the background.

Here's what the canvas looked like originally:

Big Difference, eh?!

Posterization is FUN!

I will now start using it more.

Thanks Elizabeth.
