Good day, Good night whichever time you are reading this. Welcome to yet another #creative-sunday. If you have been following my previous #Creative-Sunday post then you already know that I am a lover of #streetart, #wallart #brickwallart or whichever name you want to call it. Now in case you are wondering what it is all about, #streetart, #wallart is basically the artistic process of turning a dead, bland wall into something amazing that people are willing to look at using nothing but the power of colors basically, there is more to it, but lets leave it at that. This time around I wanted to give the wall art a style or feeling of an old #artwall painting that has been done a long time ago so I had to make it look a little fuzzy by dropping clarity and sharpness. I am glad it came out like this, as that was the aim. Now that said, this is the point where I dive into the breakdown of the processes leading to the final result, the fina result you see below šš
Now fasten your seat belt. The process šš
Processes outlined
The Original Images used for this design were gotten from pixabay.com (The white brick-like wall you see) and my previous design which I did while playing around with Corel-drawback, having been introduced to #digital-art back in the days as a newcomer to Hive, that was 2021, December, a month I will never forget šš
Ok!!! I got the image of a brick wall, yeah I decided to stick with the white wall I used in the previous #creative-sunday, I just love that wall š. In case you looking for where to get a a lovely wall or brick-wall, use sites like pixabay and pexel, in this case mine was gotten from pixabay

Process of creation in Photoshop Outlined
Okay, the first thing you do similar to my previous #creative-sunday process is to open the first image of the brick wall in Photoshop and create a displacement map for it using the filter tab. Here is how,
First: open the image of the brick wall in photoshop, go to Blur under filter, then select gaussian blur.
Second: You desaturate the image converting it to black and white by pressing Shift + Ctrl + U
Thirdly you save this newly created image after the above steps has been done successfully in PSD format, go to file then save as then select PSD format. Then click save after giving it a name
Now you have a displacement Map to be used later
After saving revert back to the original brick wall image, it will serve as a first layer
screenshot below šš
Now open the second image to be used on the brick wall as a second layer above the brick wall layer
Here is what you do after doing this:
First: Select the image and go the filter tab
Second: When at the filter tab select displace, then for the settings you see, keep them at 10 and 10 then select stretch to fit and wrap-around
-Third:After this select ok, at this point you will be taken to computer, here select the saved PSD file.
Then you have the below
Some modifications has to be done to the above, here they are š
- Fourth: After, now you have to blend the result, you do this by right-clicking the second layer with the mouse, select for this purpose, under blend, I selected "difference effect" look, it is as shown in the screenshot below
So the difference effect under blend gave the above result
After getting the result you see in the screenshot above. I saved it that way, took the saved file into Paint 3D on window OS cropped out the unwanted part, and improved contrast, the result is what you see below šš
