Experiment 129: Purple and gold mask

Mask created in papier maché.

Experiment 120: Purple flower

Created in Photoshop CS4 Extended and Artrage 2.5 using a Wacom Intuos 3

After watching the latest video tutorial about custom brushes from Planet Photoshop I got inspired to play a bit with custom brushes and ended up with some interesting shapes. When I wanted to add some pencil strokes I had to use another program though. Perhaps it's possible to get a good simulation of an ordinary pencil in Photoshop too, but I don't know an easy way so instead I used Artrage (a really nice program for simulation of different kinds of natural paint, without having to clean any brushes etc ;-) ).

Experiment 118: Eternity stops time in the middle of now

Created in Photoshop CS4 Extended using a Wacom Intuos 3

This was truly an experiment in the best sense of the word, I started out painting a little with just one of the default brushes and then applying some filters, copying layers, painting a bit more and changing blend modes and so on, this was the end result.

Experiment 94: In the universe
