I confess to being inordinately pleased with how this turned out. Taking a photograph of rotting hulks on the Isle of Mull by DeFacto from Wikimedia, I gave it two coloured pencil treatments in Topaz Impressions. I inverted one of my muddy terracotta backgrounds so that it became blue. The final touch was to layer the photograph over the background in Photoshop’s Multiply mode.

Fantastic work. I would never had guessed it was originally a photograph. Beautiful and somewhat melancholy.

I love your work. In particular, this reminds me of a black and white photo my father took of Lake Erie many years ago. In fact, you have motivated me to put it up on my blog today. Thank you!
