But the day was gloomy and with chores done, I decided to stay in the house and do a little editing on those shots from last week that I didn't use.
I thought, maybe these would look much better in black and white.
For the 'table' I used a wicker chair. I took an old pillow case that had a design on it and tossed in the dried up flower, the putty knife and some crinkled wall paper. I couldn't find my large paint brush so I used a very small one.
After all, I will be repainting after the house remodel.
I overlayed a photo of rose wall paper and used some 'grunge' brushes in CS 2. I also used a nifty little filter called AAAFotoFrame, which I can't seem to find anywhere on the internet.
Here is the wicker chair with a whiteboard as backing. The same pieces are in this shot. I again used a texture from Mercurycode at deviantart. I used Overlay to blend it and then took out what I didn't need.
I took some more shots today and will start lesson #2 this week. I had to take advantage of having no one else around while I messed with objects and textures.
This was fun and a great inside distraction when the weather is not so great outside.
Even an old chair can be used to arrange still life.
Today though I had Morris's help, he kept nudging things with his nose and getting in my way.
I finally took the hint and took him for a nice little hike.
