The Process: This was accomplished using a lot of blending, and a lot of experimenting with the different blend modes. I began with an Artsy Paper from AnnaSampler No. 4. I used Inverted Masking to blend the photo unto the paper. I placed the photo, which was very dark, on Blend Mode Hard Light. I then took another layer of the photo, and again using the Inverted Masking technique, blended in just the buildings, reducing the opacity to about 40%. I then added the FotoBlendz from the AnnaSampler No. 4, and placed it on top of the photo and used Blend Mode Overlay, allowing the photo colors to intensify. I added a number of other transfers from the Samplers, and from the ArtsyTransfers Capture. I played around with various layers, modifying their colors and blend modes. I added some of the brushes from DifferentStrokes, to intensify the reflection of the buildings. I added the WordART (Shine), and then added the San Diego, using a font. I added a deep shadow to San Diego, and reduced the opacity of the font color down to about 15%. I finished up by adding the FadedWords, and Dripped Watercolor (changing their color and blend modes)
