photoshop painting play

Using internet sources online I experimented with some features in Photoshop. I researched about the uses of clipping layers and different modes and their uses. I also used prior knowledge on glow FX features to give a funky luminescence vibe to some aspects. I spent a lot of time just playing around with features but found this incredibly resourceful to use in future Photoshop painting.
