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.
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.
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!
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.
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".
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.
I am currently trying to learn how to use soft pastels. I have done a few small paintings and have enjoyed the pastels. I also do watercolors and like to use Derwent Inktense pencils in some of my work. I enjoy drawing with graphite and charcoal also.
