Cape Coast Castle in a new light


Recommended Posts

Taking a break from variable fonts and typography panels (latest Betas). Used the original illustration from the public domain collection of the British Library, did some B/W adjusting to the original, then some watercolouring, then a pastel plugin, back to Photo.  Saved as a PNG, then placed it in a new file, added a duplicate layer then a new fill layer above the background layer, an inverted mask and some watercolour brushes, then some adjustments (levels, brightness/contrast, vibrance) and then a merge visible.  All suggestions thanks to @Frankentoon Studio 's mystery box series. Added a new pixel layer and some more watercolour painting, then a lighting filter.  

Any resemblance to the famous Castle in Ghana is purely incidental. 🫣

A very inventive approach, Jennifer, and a beautiful result.  Superbly well done!
