Thanks! I came across this technique when I was playing around with stenciling. Its so quick and easy I thought i’d share it.
I use this girl in a recent work too! It’s really pretty!!
This is awesome! I got some really nice effects and posted them in the flickr group. I did try using threshold instead of posterization, which gives a little extra control over the black/white balance.
Nice tutorial;
you could also use your own aquarelle blobs, for variety
Exactly like I love: quick, easy and amazing!
