Class Overview:

• I will begin by highlighting my Christmas collection on Unsplash, a great resource for selecting wonderful photos for this project. A link to this resource is provided in the Projects and Resources section of the class.
• I will use the fabulous smudge tool to blend the colors in the photo.
• I will then repeat the smudging process with a second photo and blend the two photos together with blend modes, showing how different blend modes produce unique and awesome effects.
• Then I will repeat this process with an additional photo.
• After that, I will test out blending a few of the texture overlays provided in the resources to further enhance the project.
• I will finish this fantastic project by blending an image of a frosted window pane, giving this piece of art a unique look that is perfect for a Christmas or winter time piece of art.
