Expressionistic Blends

Lots

Tried to be more expressionistic with my use of blends in ArtRage. Lots of erased layers in a variety of blend modes here. I wanted the face to become part of the piece more. Some of the faces from the last few days look too digitized.

Still experimenting with the blend modes in ArtRage. Reminds me of my first experiments where I had one face good and the other evil (Dark and Light, Aug 08).

Played around with Blending Modes again. This time I used the Difference mode in layers for the face. I duplicated the face and added another blend on top. Not sure off hand which ones are layered for "Reverse." I think I will be experimenting some more with layered blends when I have the time.

The marks on these two are from the ArtRage that I worked on this last Friday. I used just the background "Tartan" without the face and butterfly to add textures to these two. There is also an under layer made with tube paint feature that I "smashed" down a bit with the marker tool.

Here are a couple of ArtRage works that I experimented with this evening. There are many layers, some with different blending modes. I like the way the reds glow. I added the butterfly and face from some of my earlier work. The butterfly is in an under layer in normal mode. The face is in shadow mode with a little bit of light color in the under layer so the eyes show.
