1, Background white.

2. New layer.Make a white Oval Opac 20%,Duplicate and cutout:- Vert-16, Horz-6, Opac-80, Blur-100.Merge both layers(but not the background layer)

3.Cut about a 1/4 and 1/8 from the top & bottom. Reduce Opacity to 70%.

Select  shape and save to alpha chanel

4.New layer, add two thin oval“s white line & gray fill one at the top and one about a 1/8 down



5. Adding highlights and shadows this probally the most important part. New layer add two white ovals turn them slightly and gaussian blur :-2.now add a small oval to the top rim of the bowl. Add a white cresent on the right.

last but not least a shadow on the right.new layer make a shape like below, then use cutout:- Vert-16, Horz-6, Opac-5, Blur-100. Now using your selection from the alpha chanel, invert and cut.



You can reduce the opacity to suit your needs. or add highlights,experiment thats the key

You can add backgrounds and using your inverted alpha channel selection and cut them so that they fit in side your bowl.

if you have any questions feel free to ask

MIKE aka Shelly1
