This image was meant to be a rendering of a memory of sultry summer mornings where the heat of the coming day meets the wetness in tall grass and makes for a bit of fog. I made a single leafy reed with the ellipse tool and the calligraphy tool, then set it as a brush by copying it and using the pencil tool set to shape: from clipboard. I added some tall grasses with the pencil tool set to shape: triangle in. I applied a color jitter to all of the shapes after setting them to a solid dark leafy green. I added a blurry gradient for the background, and a blurry dark green rectangle in the foreground to add some depth. I added the text, dupliacted it and blurred the duplicate for a soft foggy effect. With snow on the way here in New Jersey, I’m looking forward to seeing the summer morning fog again.
