Deer - Cat - Faces - Music - Grunge Digital Collage - PhotoPaint

Grunge Digital Collage

I selected one of Mayang's Textures for the start of a grunge digital collage this morning. I browsed for it in Picasa 3 and picked one I liked with deep browns. I opened with PhotoPaint and began creating the collage you see.

Using Picasa 3 I browsed for some unusual images for this collage. I selected a deer, two faces pieces, a cat, some birds, and a music piece entitled "The Swallow." I added a frame around the face with the red glasses and a floral piece bottom middle.

I used the property Multiply on most of the collage images to allow some transparency to them to allow the texture to show through. I found the deer, faces, and cat from images I had worked on quite awhile ago. The cat image is a scanned in piece I did in pen and ink and painted in Painter with water color. I also selected a floral banner from Dover Publications for the right hand side. The music and the frame and the other floral also came from Dover Clip Art.

I used the Tone Curve on the deer before I merged it to darken it a bit. I also upped the saturation to 15 for the entire collage to brighten the colors. I did the complete digital collage browsing and copying and pasting from Picasa 3 into PhotoPaint.
