For my current mixed media art project, I wanted to compile several abstract images, both in the background and foreground, to see ow they would fit. Finding the right balance so that there can be a shed of light on the canvas I feel is crucial so the the final scene doesn't look cluttered. Not that I'm an expert. I rarely can achieve this balance.
I titled my project "Hear What I Say". Apparently the man in the scene is not listening to the female. He suffers the consequences. Fortunately, she takes pity on him and reaches out to save his body as it's falling. Lucky guy...this time.
Below are my steps:
I utilized Canva, my design program, to blend the different type images. I leave with you my procedures which began with a blank, white canvas. I then add layers of elements in accordance with my upgraded Annual Pro Membership that includes tools to remove backgrounds, resize, filter, duplicate, and reposition items as required. Perhaps of all the tools, the ability to remove backgrounds thereby creating transparencies of the images is crucial to the blending process.
