Another one of my practice Alla Prima style Photoshop paintings. Alla Prima is Italian for “at first attempt.” It describe a painting technique where an artwork is completed in a single session. In the real-paint world it is a wet-on-wet technique resulting in expressive, textured brush strokes. Leaving areas of the canvas exposed is a deliberate technique. Using brushes and lessons from @elevateyourart I’m trying to duplicate that style in Photoshop not using AI. I do think the composition on this one is a little off. I should have taken away some of the greenery at the top left and added more under the roses. But “progress not perfection” is what I keep reminding myself as I work through this process. #photoshoppainting #allaprima #pinkroses #diannapaulkphotography #photoshopart

Macro Project 52: Shape and Form The primary difference in shape and form is dimensionality. Shape is 2-dimensional (flat) and form adds the third dimension of depth. Photography is by default a 2-dimensional product. Photographers use light, perspective, and depth of field so the viewer will perceive depth in an image. Canon 5D Mark III, Lensbaby Velvet 56, f/4, 1/125s, ISO 250, Einstein studio light camera left #2026MacroProject52 #diannapaulkphotography #shootextraordinary #fern #shapeandform @lensbabyusa

July’s Color Chase Challenge is Muted Terra Cotta. This is one of my all-time favorite finds while exploring Selma with a friend a few years ago. Not my usual genre of photography but I just fell in love with it when I saw it! #colorchasechallenge #july2026 #ccc_terracotta #diannapaulkphotography @colorchasechallenge

One of my July goals is to practice Alla Prima style painting in Photoshop. I want to finish nine flower paintings then try it on animal portraits in August. Working my way up to people portraits in this style. This one is not “there” yet so it’s a bit scary sharing it. Progress not perfection, right? Monday is our #glorifygodloop … Our goal is to glorify God through the creativity He has given us. To see today’s posts go to #glorifygodloop7_6_26 Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. Colossians 3:1-3 #photoshoppainting #tulip #diannapaulkphotography

Macro Project 52: Yellow I was surprised to find this beautiful yellow zinnia in my flower garden today! So many of my zinnias are in the pink-mauve color range. I took two versions of it. First: Canon 5D Mark III, Lensbaby Velvet 56 + Kinko 38mm, f/4, 1/60s, ISO 1250, window light. Second: Canon 5D Mark III, Lensbaby Velvet 28, f/4, 1/50s, ISO 800, window light #2026Macroproject52 #diannapaulkphotography #shootextraordinary #zinnia #yellow @lensbabyusa
