Majestic Coal Window

[Arwin Profile]

Hi Carolyn,

Here some reworks of your photo as I wrote you about in this topic.
Just to illustrate the many possibilities of SPE and by using masks.

In the end, it all becomes to matter of taste or achievement points, anyway I hope it will inspire you or anyone else!

Thank you for allowing me to use your photo for this.

Cheers,
Arwin


Majestic Coal Window - Stone & mortar texture

First photo is Majestic Coal Window, this is your photo as found on your website.
Second I added a texture to the stone wall by using a mask on the wall, with the idea to give the wall a more old touch compared with the Majestic Coal Window.
