Following on from Janey’s last visit to us and a request, Janey gave her new talk
‘Brush Magic’, to demonstrate the art of creating your own brushes, adding to your
own skills in the post processing of images.
Janey took us through from where to find brushes in photoshop, making your own
bespoke brushes to comply with competition rules.
A bespoke brush is whatever you make it, from Celtic crosses, buildings,
monuments, materials using seeds, leaves, grasses, twigs, wallpaper pattern,
glitter, cracked paint, flour, the list of what you can use is endless depending on
your imagination and quick to do.
Janey then gave a gallery of a wide range of images covering different genres
explaining how she had used the brushes and textures in each image.
We then had a practical demonstration from Janey on making different brushes
incorporating different techniques from your own logo to clouds, trees, birds, hair,
how to save them and how not lose all your hard work.
Janey then used these in processing images that she had taken before and
transforming them into a pleasing image.
A really useful, informative and interactive talk that Janey delivered at a pace that
everyone could understand.
