I used water miscible oils, by the way. I have also used dry brush acrylics, but I like the oil because I could "wipe out" the paint with a rag to bring out the brush strokes. <br /><br />Color Dodge gives a very strong effect, so I paint at 10% opacity or lighter.<br /><br />And in CS6, you can "filter" Layers by type. I have yet to use that feature. <br /><br />Thanks for stopping by!David Opiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459722903913383777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808046141804670558.post-3151874374099202292013-08-13T12:50:39.181-07:002013-08-13T12:50:39.181-07:00Way cool!

But I'll have to try one done with oil like in your setup.<br /><br />I've never tried using a color dodge layer before. In trying it out I see it works better for me when I set reduce the layer opacity and brush opacity to about 37%. I usually just use the color dodge brush directly on the actual main scanned paint layer. But a new layer sounds easier to undo later.<br /><br />I see Photoshop 6 has some layer features... none of which I've had time to even look at. I'll have to get around to that... <br /><br />Thanks!<br /><br />jnjohn nezhttp://www.johnnez.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3808046141804670558.post-27767299091979573552013-08-12T10:50:04.149-07:002013-08-12T10:50:04.149-07:00That is awesome, Dave!
