Class Task #7 – Layer Masks…Like Face Masks
A) What happens when you paint part of the layer mask…black? …white? …grey?
When I painted part black, the top layer is removed to reveal the bottom. The white makes the top layer re-appear. The grey is used to make it opaque.

a) What were you trying to express and how did you achieve this?
In this picture I am trying to express two feelings which are anger and frustration did this because I think these are very closely linked together. I achieves by using the right colors e.g. using red to express anger.
b) What filters did you use and where?
I used the following filters:
-Stain Glass: To get the effect in the picture at the top beside the inverted picture.
-Sprayed Strokes: Used this filter on the bottom picture
-Water paper: Used this filter in the background
c) What layer blending mode did you use and where?
I used the Luminosity layer blending mode. I used it to the picture on the top and then I inverted the same picture which gives it that white effect. After layer blending it I deleted the original picture.
d) What special brush did you use and where?
I used dry media brush #88 on the top inverted picture which gave the dots that I wanted.
