1. What happens when you paint part of the layer mask…black? …white? …grey?
When I painted the part of the layer mask black, then the picture is visible.
When I painted the part of layer mask white then the original picture appears.
When I painted the part of layer mask grey, then we can partially see both the pictures i.e the image is transparent.

· In this picture, I am trying to express happiness in my life. I acheived this by giving a calm and peaceful effect.(eg: the flowers)
· The importance of happiness in life, especially for those people, who never achieve happiness are the ones who complain whenever they’re awake, and whenever they’re asleep, they are thinking about what to complain about tomorrow.
· I used filter>(i) filter gallery >texture>grain. Then I changed the intensity and contrast as required.
· (ii) filter>digimare>embeded watermark.
· (iii) filter>blur for the entire white spots.
· I also used: layer>layer style>opacity and fill opacity in order to reflect on the flowers.
· I used assorted brushes in order to highlight some borders/lines in between the colours.
