Drawer

Not Easy

I had a very difficult time. I could not find the same brushes in the sample packets provided or in the purchased sets. The only ones I found were the thick and thin and the palette knives. I couldn't see the pattern brushes or the blenderiffic and several others. I'll need to watch again to see if I just missed something or what.

My canvas is 11 x 8.5 at 300 DPI.

My result is nothing like I'd planned as I couldn't get the same effects.

I did create many different layers, added blend modes in different ways, and created a bit of gold and some lines. 

Here are the three slightly different versions. There is not enough balance and too many circles. Some of my line work disappeared. I do have some texture.

One way I got some variety was to "erase" the cardboard with the stripes I found in the Abstract Shapes, which might have been in the purchased set.

I've so much to learn.

I like this one the best:

Thanks for the class. I'll watch it several times to catch what I missed.

I added a bit with some interest areas, flow, patterns, etc. to try to get to a place where the art helps the viewer flow through the pattern in stops and goes to enjoy the pieces.
