A few months ago I started experimenting with my traditional artworks in Photoshop CC 2015. I thought it would be cool to see what happens if I layer diverse drawings and paintings above one another and play around with the level characteristics and masks. Level characteristics are options that set how two superimposed levels relate to each other. And masks are a non-destructive way to erase parts of your image which means that it gives you the option to restore them. It's always a joy to see how well and naturally the structures and forms of different artworks join together to something totally new and unexpected. "Paradalace" is my newest "digital" work and is composed of my paper drawing "Memory Palace" and my canvas painting "Paradise". I think it really looks like one or would you be able to guess that it consists of two separate parts?
