Photo of actual paint, sprayed through an actual stencil, on actual paper (brown paint on brown paper).
Photo cropped, and reduced to black and white. (threshold filter)
Layer duplicated, copy rotated 180, inverted (black becomes white and white becomes black), made a bit smaller, and moved until I liked it.
Liking this ok, but it's too eclipsey for what I was thinking about.
Black on top layer selected, and then paint-bucketed hot pink.
Black on bottom layer elected, and paint-bucketed orange.
White on bottom layer selected, and paint-bucketed chartreuse.

it's fun isn't it, playing around with images of painted paper...
It is, indeed. :-) I am really wanting to get more comfortable with the whole digital collage thing. I'm finding the mind-shift into that from hardcopy collage to be ... non-trivial. :-)
I really want to get away from actual spraying -- it just isn't good for the planet (though they are coming out with more and more spray options that do not have those awful propellants -- spritz bottles of ink; pumped-full-of-air sprays for fabric paint.....).
If I can "spray" digitally, I have EVERY color, and can do it in my study (no need for an empty garage, warm dry weather, etc)....
:-)
Itching to do something like your giant clay beads....... I bet there's a hand-building class I could take that would let me do that.....
Wonder what happens if you paint unglazed but finish-fired ceramics with acrylic paint........... (thinking of bright colors without glaze)
:-)
