Great Hair Day!

I LOVE my

Painter 11

Photoshop CS2

Wacom Intuos4

&

Good ole' paint and paint brushes

I started the background last year in

Dustin Parker's 

"Center for the Arts" class

where I confess I had no idea what

the hell I or Dustin was doing!

I loved his class.

Little did I know then that his class would be

the beginning of my efforts to not be so perfect

and to stretch my self a little with my art.

Julie, your workshops are a continuation

of my journey to learn "abstract" way of painting :-)

"Layer Love" and " Super Nova".

The background of this painting is from

Dustin's class and is done with real paint & a brush.

Then I digitally painted her hair and dress in Painter11

then finished it up in PhotoshopCS2.

Learning to use Corel Painter & A Wacom Tablet!

This is the beginning stage of the new

"can-O-worms"

I got for my birthday!

A Wacom Intuos 4 Tablet and Corel Painter!

It's taken the better party of the day to figure out how to use

all the tools and gadgets and I'm actually getting the hang of it...

:-)

I'll work on this and I'll try to post the stages as I go. I have no idea how she will turn out but I think it looks really cool so far!

I love it!
