The Forecast is for lots and lots of Clouds!
Gary Bouton has taken some of our best photographs of clouds and then meticulously masked then so they’re surrounded by transparency. Recolor them, mix and match them, have fun with them in your artwork!
These image files are all embedded in XAR files, many with backgrounds to give you a jump start on your creative work. Now, because these photos were originally taken at 300dpi, you’ll have plenty of leeway scaling them. But the files size are also large. So if you have a slow connection, download them one by one (they’re zipped), or if you have FiOS or other high-speed connection, there’s a link below to download the files all in one zipped parcel.
Show us your best cloudwork on in the TalkGraphics Xara Xone forum for this Giveaway.
