Thanks! I love that tree too, the colors sort've took me by surprise but I just went with it.

Glad you did because it looks great! Ah you used hard edges but the colours STILL manage to melt into each other, I need to try that sometime.Β

Hmmm, looking at this I think I remember one thing I did- I have a few custom blenders in photoshop (just the blender tool, but using some custom brushes for the shape) to get a smokey blend, but instead of actually using it I smudge two good colors together, eyedropper-pick a new color that comes out of that, and hit undo. Β Then I paint in with that new color. Β Rinse, repeat. Β It helps me with a quick workflow.. I guess because the way I think about colors is less technical or deliberate than anything else. Β I want to be able to do what feels right and not overthink the color-wheel selection process.
Thanks for the comments, by the way. Β : )

Ahh I see I see, interesting technique! I guess it's like mixing with a traditional palette, but on the canvas itself. Actually I just found an extension for photoshop that adds a 'painter's wheel' like the one in Corel painter, and it can auto-blend two colours like you described. Working pretty well so far!
And no problem!Β

That sounds pretty neat! I use a super old version of photoshop so I'm not sure it would be compatible, but where did you come across this extension?

Thank you! I'm really new to any sort of intentional lighting effects, so that means a lot. = )
