A WOMAN HAS THE RIGHT TO CHANGE HER MIND

The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration.

Inspiration Tracee Ellis Ross in Red   I have always loved tattoo art (although i don’t have a single one) and am particularly fond of “Raza Style” Tattoo work. I am also a Frida devote, lover of color and amateur anthropologist. Mix all that up and 5 days of no sleep later you get my first ever Photoshop montage Tree of Life In Reflection. P.S. I’m getting a tablet ASAP. I’m working on my laptop without a mouse. My wrist hurts. ouch!  P.S.S. I used the first tutorial as my guide and adjusted it for my needs… WHO Knew layers where so important?!  P.S.S.S Is there an option to easily toggle between layers without clicking on the panel. AND is there an option to APPLY changes to smart objects without clicking ok (or apply) every time?
