Perspectives | LET'S MAKE A COLLAGE: ROUND #99

Hello everyone and welcome back to my participation in this week's Let's Make a Collage ("LMAC") for Round 99. Another awesome landscape image to work with in creating our collages. I love landscape images as I can explore opposite images to pair it with creating an unusual collage.

Often my collages depict different scenes in each section. This week, I wanted to pair the grassy landscape with a watery view. As long as the collage shows my feelings about a particular landscape, then I'm happy with my overall result. It's all about perspectives.

To create the setting, I began with the photograph provided by @shaka in his contest post: Let's Make a Collage - A Contest for All Creatives on Hive - Round 99 - ✨230 HIVE in the Prize Pool!

Before I start my collage, I try to locate a suitable background image that complements my theme. Changing the landscape from light to dark would give it the night, watery scene.

The scene I chose was a fantasy balcony set upon a dark, watery background in which an artist attempts to find inspiration in the far away landscape.

To create the collage, I uploaded into Canva both the contest photo, the background image, and other images that would complete the theme.

Next, I used all the tools available in my Canva Annual Pro Membership Subscription to remove backgrounds from images and add filters. Below are the following images I utilized in my theme:

• Antique Door Contributed to the #LIL by @brittandjosie
• Gull bird Contributed to the #LIL by @redheadpei
• Brown Cat Contributed to the #LIL by @agmoore
• Brown table Contributed to the #LIL by @agmoore
• Red Flower Contributed to the #LIL by @evagavilan2
• Female painter by bridgesward at Pixabay
• Fractals digital art created by me utilizing Apophysis 2.09 fractal rendering program:
  • Paint palette with brushes
  • Crystal canvas

Below is my completed collage:

COLLAGE #2: A Boy's Prayer"

In my second collage, my theme was a young boy playing outside his farm. He's fantasizing and praying for rain for his family's crops. I was able to locate a nice magical background for the setting.

Below are the images I utilized for this collage:
