Sunshine Challenge 2022 #7 (Opal) - part two-and-a-half  


Prompt #7: Opal

Okay, Part is a ridiculous thing to call it. However, this is not Part 3, which will talk about techniques some more. It's just that, over the past few days, I've been working quite bit on the "tapestry" variants and come up with a number of interesting ones. In some cases, I've increased the saturation and/or contrast; but I've also been playing with filters trying to produce new colours and combinations.





















A different route got me a fancy red-and-yellow one:





I still can't achieve a good purple in this set, though.

So I tried a different line of derivation. Of course, as I was starting from a different graphic, the result is texturally different from the ones above—more lacy, to my eyes. As you can see, besides purple variants, I also got turquoise/blue/green ones:





















Following up with this has produced a rather different (but also fancy) red-and-yellow one:

Oh, I love these! I think the first one in the "turquoise" variant row is my favorite - it looks like it would glow in the dark given the opportunity.

Thank you! I was trying to add blue tones to a rosy variant to make purple ... and overshot the mark. Serendipity sometimes works marvels.
