Fluidr / Argentum Petalatum (Petal Pack III) by Pixelated Sky

Rose.

This is part of a series of explorations based on a single image of a rose, all processed in black and white or nearly so.

This was done entirely using Curves in Affinity Photo by mangling the Luminosity channel in LAB mode, starting from a basic B&W version. If you add troughs in the Curves curve you easily produce solarised effects.

For this one I inverted the dark end of the curve, and then blended that with the original straightforward B&W layer with Overlay mode.

All spray-painted :)

Thank you for taking the time to look I hope you enjoy the image!
