I made time for a little creative photography today….
I photographed some of my paint brushes on my desk in my little studio.
I used my 18 – 55 mm kit lens with my Canon EOS 7D. I processed the image in Photoshop. Very simply explained, I desaturated the image so that it was almost black and white but not quite. Then I added two layers of one of my own textures. Finally I sharpened the image and saved it. Done.
I love how the texture layers have given the brush handles a lovely marbled look….
I like the marbled look too.
Thank you Sandy!
A very nice bit of sensitive photo manipulation, Evelyn. Love the soft, subtle effect!

Thank you Jodi… !
Nice colors. (K)
Thank you Kerfe!
This a beautiful photo!
It’s relatively simple in itself but it’s a marvelous photo because I feel like it captures something emotive, and while real, just a surreal too or maybe it’s because it feels dreamy in some sense or distant in time.
You captured some fine detail and really put a nice textured atmospheric spin on it and you know..even the title is perfect! And just shows how artistic you are!
PS: what kind of brushes are these?
Thank you for your lovely comment RaeRae. They are synthetic brushes but very nice ones, made by Royal & Langnickel. They are good for my watercolour work, they hold quite a lot of water…
This is such a wonderful photograph, Evelyn.
To me, the thing that makes it so special is the simplicity of it.
Thank you Lisa – I agree, sometimes less is more… !
