THE ARTIST COLLECTION PHOTOSHOP ACTIONS
The Artist Collection, inspired by the rich and conscious use of colors in old paintings, is a set of 6 actions that adds value and storytelling impact to your portraits with a simple click of the mouse. This collection is designed to run strikingly on its own or paired with another action the collection to create a signature look. Each action comes with a handcrafted layer stack to open and up, explore, and modify to suit your image:
- Sunkissed Blush
- Summer Lingers
- Burnt Lavender
- Warm Nostalgia
- Soft Lust
- Earthly Embrace
The colors in The Artist Collection will shift when applied to images shot across a multitude of ways – sunlight, diffused light, flash, or even rain, leaving every portrait impactful.
Bella’s Tip: With the layers tucked neatly into a group, a great way to explore unique colors is to run 2 or 3 actions and change the group opacities to create a striking depth of color that is unique to your vision.
Sunkissed Blush – This action has a beautiful color palette on its own but also designed to create an aesthetically pleasing complex color tone when paired with another action in the collection.
Summer Lingers – Inspired by limited tones in old art, this action casts muted brown tones with a warm painterly hue across the subject while yellows and greens are subdued into soft delicate hues of green that compliment the neutral tones.
Burnt Lavender – Reminiscent of Monet’s waterlily series, soft pale tones of lilac, purple, and blues are carefully crafted in this action to bring a sense of balance and ethereal to any image while still retaining a beautiful complimentary warmth to all skin tones.
Warm Nostalgia – Go back in time with modern sepia tones that add a warm glow to the overall image. This action works best casting painterly tones when paired with images that have a subject against a darker background.
Soft Lust – Pretty pastel tones that signal and accompany the start of spring, the season of growth, bloom, and evolution, these tones bring a delicate but impactful touch on any image drawing the viewer in.
Earthly Embrace – This action takes your image to a subdued and muted place. Pair with Burnt Lavender for a striking color palette.
