Weekly Tasks 4

Bit of back dating to do so I'm on top of things again!
Task 4 was a bucket fill exercise in photoshop… textures can also be made into patterns, which can then be filled with the bucket… e.g. paving textures.

Starting off with a base plan supplied to us...

 To a rendered plan making use of photoshop brushes, scanned art and photographic textures from the internet.
A bit of shadow to give the illusion of height and depth was created by duplicating layers and reducing the saturation or brightness, both work, and the reducing the opacity to around 70%.
The same tree was duplicated, and the size altered, to make up all the trees, then by adjusting the colour balance or hue saturation under image - adjustments, the trees can be changed to show autumn hues or deeper greens for conifers etc.
The brown path area was in fact a rubbing i took from a concrete slab then scanned into photoshop and defined as a pattern. 
The paving was taken from the internet and defined in photoshop paying close attention to the joins in the paving so it looks natural when used as a pattern (the repetition of patterns can look 'blocky').
All quite satisfactory apart from the roof, which was another rubbing of a gate panel… seemed to work ok for a tiled effect but not much else.
