Black Base Demo B - Black Under Red

 #black #base #layer #inkscape #demo 

This demo shows how black as a base layer under red plus filters works in comparision to not having an underlayer.

Even under a really "thick" materials filter like Cracked lava there's a clear difference!

Under a semi- transparent filter like Tartan the reds are intensified.

Try it for yourself with a variety of filters! 

Inktober Black Matte Demo

 Inktober Black Matte Demo

#inkscape #filter #demo #Matte

I've taken one oblong filled with black and applied five different filters to create matte effects. 

This time I'm not telling you which. I want you to experiment and practise. 

There will be a few more of these! 

Inktober and Black - Using a Black Base Layer with Blue

Using A Black Base Layer with Blue 

Why use a black base layer ?

I started with black and blue squares and added 3 different texture filters to the blue squares using #Inkscape. I hope your browser allows you to see how the black base layer creates depth in the squares in the middle column?  I made duplicates of the blue texture squares and moved them over copies of the black squares. Of course you don't have to use squares or these texture filters but I hope this gives you ideas for your own work? You could also do further edits in Gimp or other programs.

More thoughts on Black and Inkscape

In this demo I show how starting with a Black or dark gray layer in Inkscape can change the layer above 

The left column is the base layer 

 middle column of squares is a blend 

right column a "purer" color

How powerful black is !

INktober - thoughts on Black

 #black #color #inktober 

ITs Inktober again so let us consider the role of black.

I'ld like  you to think about this old 19th German diagram not co sits OLD 

but cos its STILL RELEVANT.

Whoever created it thought about transitions and gradients from white to black and vice versa and how black darkens other colors.

Here's another example the power of black to change colors from one of my older Inkscape demos.

For each row I shifted the colors further toward black.

There will be more discussion and demos of black and Ink throughout this month .

Folks I just lost my job !
