Question

Something for the weekend - Part 108 - Brush up!

Thanks to all who took part in last weekend's scarecrow challenge.

 

Brushes are important tools in Photoshop and in art generally. I wonder though, what could you make out of a brush?

 

The “rules”:

  • Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright etc.
  • Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert.
  • There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off, or bring a bit of humour and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

To download the image below at 1500 x 3500 pixels with an embedded ICC colour profile (sRGB), hover over the image and click on the circle with the arrows at the top right. Then, when the image opens in its own window, right click and choose “Save Image As/Save Target As” (or similar depending on your browser). The image is against a transparent background so there is no work for you in cutting it out.

 

 

When posting back your image – please use the Blue reply button in this first post. If posting a comment on someone else’s entry then please use the grey reply button next to their image post.

 

Have fun!

 

Dave

A flag brush Jane! I wonder if I turned it whilst painting it would also paint the UK flag?

That might work, Dave, we'd have to try it.

Dave, it must be safer to rush off rather than try to brush off this one (and those still hidden in there on both sides, completely unseen but given away by the ears).

 

Exquisite colour choice.

I'm doing a quick version for now (reusing an old one). Will come up with something else to add to all the creative versions others have posted.

I re-used a few things from old scenes when I made that swimming pool scene Dean. So you're entitled to re-use the image you made with it 🙂

That would make a good poster Rista. The engine paint reminded me of my youth when I hand painted a car. The finish had as many brush stroke marks as your painted surface 🙂

I bet Bob Ross could have painted it that quick with marbled paint on a large brush 🙂
