White Dove

One of the new brushes in the Southwestern No. 1 brush set resembled the "White Dove of the Desert," an early Spanish mission near Tucson, Arizona. Since I spent 15 years in Tucson, I had to play with this.

More info, if you're interested:
In the Spring of 1687, a Jesuit missionary named Father Eusebio Francisco Kino lived and worked with the native Americans in the area called the Pimera Alta, or "Upper Pima Country," which presently is located in the areas between the Mexican state of Sonora and the state of Arizona in the United States. During Father Eusebio Kino's stay in the Pimera Alta, he founded over twenty missions in eight mission districts. Father Kino founded missions San Xavier and San Gabriel at the Piman communities of Bac and Guevavi along the Santa Cruz River. Mission San Xavier del Bac, also know as the White Dove of the Dessert" is a historic Spanish Catholic mission located about 10 miles south of downtown Tucson, Arizona.

Process notes:
This was a rather simple process of using a brush as the focal element and then accenting it and adding dimension. I opened a solid paper from ArtPlay Palette Hygge and brushed No. 6 from the new brushset, Southwestern No. 1, centering it on the page. I placed transfers No. 1, 2 and 6 beneath the large stamp, varying their blend mode and opacity. (Normal and lighten) I blended-in some areas by using a mask. I brushed in a few clouds and added an overlay recolored white. And my visit to the White Dove was over.

Thanks for looking.
