On watercolor paper, Bristol
board, or sketch paper, I used watercolor/gouache/acrylic paints (or a
combination of some or all) to create many different types of abstract lines,
shapes, and textures. Since I am a traditional painter at heart, this was a
wonderful experience for me! I also found various textures on some of my
artwork that I found interesting.
Then I scanned these textures into
Photoshop and created an “Experimenting.psd” document. This enabled me to work
separately from my illustrations to manipulate the colors, if so desired. I
imported them into my illustration and experimented with various “Blending
Modes” (Multiply, Screen, Overlay, Soft Light, Hard Light, etc.). I began
building the layers until I was happy with the result.
