Creative Effects Challenge No. 124 - Gradient Art

I've always been surprised what happens when adding a gradient and not using normal as the blend mode - so this challenge is very simple - gradients with a difference! 


Start a new blank file

Select the Gradient Tool

Pick one of the Gradients

Select Difference as the blend mode

Select one of the Gradient types (Linear, Radial, Angle etc )

Now start mousing away with the gradient. Every stroke changes the "art"



You can try things like changing the gradient or its type between strokes, adding new layers, applying adjustments and filters to your creation. Anything goes!



Looking forward to seeing what you can come up with.



Here are a couple of examples of my playing around.  The first very simple - one layer, one gradient, different types and a levels adjustment layer.  The second used several layers and several gradients and several filters (just playing around so no idea what I did to get there but did use the cut-out filter) 










Have fun
