I am doing the Abstract Portraits 2022 online class and for the first warm up lesson I decided to import a photo of the original canvas painting into Photoshop and add a variety of Filter Forge filters to it just for fun. The original image is in the center.

Playing with Percolator App

December 16, 2021 ~ sherresartzone ~ Leave a comment

Percolator 2.6.1 (2613) Grind: Extra Fine (Average Circles & Effect: Auto Adjust), Brew: Treble (3/4 Pic & Darkest Blended Circles), Serve: Stirred (Vignette Tone & Paper Cup Texture). I just got this app for a course on slow shutter iPhoneography and used a recent painting I made to see what kind of result it could produce. I liked this first combination so decided to share it here.

Hellebore in the abstract. One of the new plants in my garden. We re-landscaped the front and backyard of our new-to-us Oregon home. The Hellebore is part of our shade garden.
