a) What were you trying to express and
how did you achieve this?

i was trying to bring out any sence of emotion with this picture . anything that might get you to think about what its about and how u could relate. i think i did a pretty good job in sence of using the fonts for each line and the effect they give . and the opocity gives it a kinda showdowey lonely look so yeah .

b) What filters did you use and where?

i used blur, gaussian blur ( yeah i think thier different ) , and noise to create my finishing image . most of it was on the larger rose becuase it had a very hard egdy look to it so i softened it up . i also used blur on the pedals cus they had that same effect

b) What layer blending mode did you use and where?

i tried pretty much all the layer blending modes available but i ended up using overlay for the pedals and desaturated some of them

c) What special brush did you use and where?

i used the paint brushes quiet alot with different hardness and sizes to colour in parts of my picture that gave it a kind of ‘copy/pasted from google’ look. i used the eyedropper too as a colouring for white linings
