playing with the growth effect in Painter

I'm taking an online class at Digital Art Academy and learning lots. Made these yesterday. I might make them into a Christmas card. Fun!

Callie

this is a painting of our cat I did using a photo that I had taken as a reference. I painted this digitally in Corel Painter X using John Derry's watercolor brushes.

Daisies

Created from a photo of our daisies.

Dancer

Been playing with a new filter in PSE.

Watercolor abstract #1

I'm learning to use the watercolor brushes on Painter and did this abstract yesterday . I had fun doing this. Love the texture I created with the texture feature.

Giraffe

I created this on Painter today using the watercolor brushes for the background, image hose for the palm trees and my photo of a giraffe.

All critiques are welcome.

WEEZIE

Painted from my photo on corel Painter X.

Crying Angel

I painted a sketch i had found online with Corel apinter.

"Enchanted Falls"

Added some images digitally to background photo using Photoshop Elements and corel painter..I just noticed the dark area at the top. Don't know what happened there!

last years Iris

edited my photo of our iris in Photoshop then painted it with oils in corel painter x.

Seascape

Done on Corel Painter X.

I still have a lot to learn but having a good time while learning.

Purple Hat

I scanned in a drawing I'd done a while back then painted it with pastels in Corel Painter X. I don't feel as if I have the colors right for an African -American woman. I wanted her skin to be a warmer color but I feel it isn't too bad for my first try.

drawn on Wacom tablet in Corel Painter X

I used felt pens and chalk and drew from a picture by Elaine Szelestey( since I couldn't get anyone to pose nude for me) in a great book by Nita Leland called "The New Creative Artist".

Digital painted orchid

This is my first digital painting. I used the tutorial I found at Corel Painter. It was really a lotof fun. I drew the orchid on my Wacom bamboo tablet then practiced using the digital brushes to complete the painting. I really liked how the colors turned out and the texture I was able to acheive using the digital brushes.
