June, 2019 Shift Art Photoshop Challenge is Closed
Theme: Abstract!
Let’s go abstract this month! Your challenge is to create something that does not have an obvious subject or story. Use patterns, colors and forms to develop motion and emotion. This may be an excellent opportunity for you to experiment with filters and plugins with abandon! Or, maybe use the PS brush for something other than masking? This theme is something completely different than what we usually do, and we truly look forward to seeing what your creativity brings forward!$50 Shopping Spree at the Shift Art Shop!
