New Medium - PhotoShop Elements

I was so inspired by one of my art friend's work with Adobe Photoshop Elements 11, I bought it for myself.  So, I have been experimenting, making art and doing my March and April, Art Group projects, all at the same time.

In March the group was assigned to photograph and create a presentation of things they love in their city that they see every day, or go often to enjoy.  I modified the assignment and photographed bazaar and unusual lawn decoration in my neighborhood.

I had recently purchased Golden's white digital ground.  I used it on art paper and tore the edges before mounting it on very cool construction paper.

Here is an example-



These "Wizards" are the carved stump of a very large tree on a corner lot.  They each sport a santa hat during Christmas.  I was very pleased with the ground and will experiment with other Golden products in their 'mixed media' group.
