The next stage of my experimenting was with using the Gradient tool and different blending modes in Photoshop

I used a variety of coloured gradients, such as blue and white and multi-coloured. I then faded them and changed the blending modes and opacity to give different effects. My favourite of these images is the fourth image as I like the contrast of blue and pink against the white background.
