"Intricate Impression"

abstract digital art

 

I took an image I created with a kaleidoscope app on my Kindle Fire. This was a design I created from lines and colors I applied myself, not a kaleidoscope created from a photo. I added an image I took with Photo Booth on my iPad. The latter image was an image of one of my abstracts on my computer screen and taken with the light-tunnel effect.

 

In Photoshop, I repeated a part of the light-tunnel image 6 times to overlay over the kaleidoscope image. At that point, it still looked like a kaleidoscope. I then cut parts of the design and rearranged them, then warped the image to create the basic composition you see above, creating an informal balance instead of the symmetrical design..

 

I used a Topaz Glow effect and later an impasto effect from Topaz Impression.

 

Back in Photoshop, I adjusted levels and colors.
