My first digital photo painting

I bought my self a Wacom Bamboo fun pad and pen for Christmas and it came with Photoshop Elements 6 and Corel Painter Essentials 3. I made my first photo painting with the Corel Painter today from a photo I took a couple of summers ago. So here it is my first attempt. I'm still trying to get used to using the pen.

This is pretty loose. I was aiming for watercolor but didn't have the transparency set right so it looks more like oils. This is really fun to play with. I have SOOO much to learn.

Don't Forsake me

Was practicing using blending modes when I did this one.
