The Great Recovery

Posted on July 22, 2011 by scott e

I watched the introduction to the Great Recovery last night from Dave Ramsey. He suggests that we need to live with hope in Jesus Christ and with that hope begin our nations economic recovery in our own homes.

I choose to become a part of The Great Recovery and am committed to keeping my house in spiritual and financial order.

The government will not fix the economy until the people of this country take personal responsibility for their small part. Please help our country return to spiritual and economic health.
Start by watching Dave Ramsey’s kickoff event.

Tutorial | Basic Color Harmony

Posted on July 22, 2011 by scott e

Harmony in a Color Pallet from Scott Franson on Vimeo.

This Tutorial shows one way to use Adobe Photoshop to create color harmony. Mixing a bit of one color into the other colors in your pallet will give the colors a family resemblance. (A pressure sensitive tablet required)

Change the background color swatch to the color you want in common
Select the brush tool.
Open the Brush window.
Select Color Dynamics > Foreground/Background jitter > Pen Pressure (this setting requires a pressure sensitive tablet. I use Wacom tablets.)
Choose a color and begin to paint varying the pressure.
Choose a new color and repeat as desired.

The result is a series of colors that are harmonized with the addition of a common color to achieve a family resemblance.

There are some things that only a kid can come up with. One of my favorite is from my son. “Shhh please be quiet my foots asleep.”

Floating Pear

I have begun the last few paintings with an overall pattern (see Pinkerbell and Crayzan). Then I paint on top selecting the colors with the eye dropper tool. I am experimenting with this process as a way to create color harmony.
