Crimson and Gold- Tuscan Summer



These are two more digital pieces in my Tuscan Summer series of collage . I am having great fun with botanica lately blending, cropping and coloring. The top collage is called Crimson- image from Dover, structures from wikimedia, antique botanical prints and script. The lower piece is called Golden Umber and the image is from wikimedia, bee from Dover and the structures are from my own photos of a lovely winery here in Sonoma county. Sunflower and grass botanica prints. Multiply and soft light filters added. Opacity reduced and gaussian blur added in Photoshop. These are just fun experiments not for a challenge; just learning to paint and blend digitally.
