paint shop pro 7 : moving mountains

week 6 : masks
varying opacity of masks
here we worked with painted masks in black, varying shades of gray and white. black paint fully opens up a section to reveal what hiding underneath, white leaves it fully covered and grays give you varying levels of opacity inbetween.
sheer terror!

a linear gradient which fades out to the right was used to combine these two images. the final image was then touched up with the eraser tool to bring the children out a bit more in the picutre.
