  1. Oh Ann - there are so many details I love about this piece of abstract art: the background texture, the colors, the addition of other elements such as maps?, text, etc. Just gorgeous! Thank you for sharing your work with Photo Art Friday.

  4. Actually, Carol, I've covered some of this in the beginners videos! I used a collage background in different colours and made them into patterns - will post the collage pictures in the photo section of my website. Then I used the magic wand tool, selected areas and blitz the inner part of the selections using the pattern tool. The flower I blitz with a yellow pattern. So easy, but it looks complicated. What I didn't cover is making black outlines which I will cover in a future workshop and I will be going into patterns in my next workshop although I give you a brief glimpse in Selections.

  5. I think I'd better go and view the beginners' videos again! It's just that it looks so different to what I remember of the videos
