Learning Something New

Hello, beautiful people!! Do you like learning something new? I sure do. I get so excited when I begin a new learning journey. And right now that is Photoshop for me.
Daniel knows how to work with photoshop, but I don't know anything about it. And when he gets so busy with his own work, I don't like to ask him to do projects for me as well. Plus, I love to know how to do things myself. Don't you?
One thing I wanted to learn was to combine my art with some of my favorite quotes. I've always loved quotes - good ones go straight through my brain into my heart and stay there for a while to be absorbed.
It's the same with my paintings - the shapes and colors go straight to my heart and soul.

So...combining the two, how can that not be an excellent thing?! And by doing so, I'm learning some basics about photoshop, adding type, picking colors, drop shadows, etc. And whenever I think it looks great and show it to Daniel, he has just a few tiny suggestions that make it look sooooo much better! Lots to learn...
I have a feeling that this will be a year-long learning project. And a fun one, which makes me happy, happy, happy!

Do you have something you want to learn how to do?

With love, color and happy thoughts,

Silke

  2. I like your paintings combined with the words. I can do only elementary things with photoshop--mostly photo editing. For me being at the computer working on photoshop is a drudge--but I like looking at what other people do!!

  8. Neues Lernen ist immer gut. Ich versteh es überhaupt nicht, hab mich noch nie damit beschäftigt. Manchmal ärgert mich das!
    Viel Spass beim Lernen.

    liebe Grüsse
