Are you afraid of using blend modes in photoshop? Are you overwhelmed by the choices?

Here are some simple charts showing the effects of photoshop layer Blend Modes (not to be confused with filters) using saturated colors. The columns of colors are on top of the rows of colors. These are the results that I get when I flip through the blend modes. If you use dark colors over light or light colors over dark, you will have different effects. Do not be afraid to experiment with blend modes! They can be quite fun! And wow, do they give you awesome color palettes…

MAC shortcut - Click on move tool, shift (+) or shift (-)

PC Shortcut -  Click blend mode box, then use ↑ and ↓ arrows

This is a brief overview. If you want super in-depth explanation about blend modes and how you can hone in on how to get the effects that you want, click here.

Take note: Different forms of intimacy. 

[vegantine-deactivated20170422]

I would feel so bad washing this off, holy shit

[pumpkin-queef]

You could take a bath afterward with the artist and they can wash it off for you so you don’t feel responsible for their work. But also, it could teach the same kind of patience and concept that nothing lasts forever, similarly to the Tibetan Buddhist sand mandala tradition. And it could be just another step in your process of intimacy. Just a thought.

I want to paint on someone holy shit.

[prettynaughtythings-deactivated]

So beautiful.

[fuckingconversations]

You know, you can paint someone with latex paint, and then rub sillicone lube into it, and it’ll last for days. 

Plus, the silicone lube makes both the skin and the paint super silky smooth like a dolphin’s belly. 

If you paint with the fluorescent versions of latex paint, it’ll actually glow beautifully under blacklight. 

[brother2thenight]

Yes to all this.
