Please remember the rules, don't you hate rules? Please leave a comment here or on the post to Braleigh and you must be a follower. That is it pretty simple. Then on the stoke of midnight on the 31st of May I will have some winners. (Well maybe just the next morning, depends if I am up or not at midnight. : ) ) Now if you prefer a certain image please tell me in your comment , in not it will all be random.
I actually won a give a way and was so excited so I thought that was fun and I needed an excuse to give y'all one. These are some digital paintings I did. Loved doing them and certainly don't look like the original photos I used. Now what is digital painting you ask, just in case you haven't gotten to explore it ? A computer program, a stylus, an Wacom pad and your fingers and brain get to play together . Mine are not the automated paintings but stroke by stroke one each lovingly put on the canvas. Oh I admit sometimes not lovingly but still the same the strokes are on there. I can thank Karen Bonaker and Marilyn Sholin for the teaching of their techniques in Painter. I did also take a little started class with Jim Cunningham and some DVD off of Jeremy Sutton, so I should be good to go in the educational part of it. When I first started without help, I opened the program and thought where do I start ? So I just grabbed a pastel in Painter and went to town. That is the medium of my choice when I use to paint a million years ago. I used all knowledge I knew from being an artist of traditional medium. Karen and Marilyn taught me the program. Now sorry Photoshop, but Painter is running you a close race in being a giant of a program. That is a tad of the history of what I did with these fun paintings.
The 6 images to be used for the drawing. Good luck to you all.
There you go, thanks for stopping by and seeing what is going on in my world today. xoxoxo

Annette, I want to win one of your lovlies! Congrats on your 10,000th view!! Wow! THat is big! Oh My, I need to learn more about this Japanese binding technique, I love it!! Where did you learn it!!? I just learned a coptic stitch and made a nice journal for myself using watercolor paper and the covers were chipboard covered in canvas that I had painted myself..,.it is rad as Amy would say ; ) I do need to catch up on blogging so that would be a good blog post for me!
ReplyDeleteTake care my friend! Hugs!
Annette, I really like the Japanese binding, so creative.. I am working on a 15" vase for Norm, a tiger on one side and a leopard on the other. I still like a pecan wash on the background and the gold, but I never count the # of fires...ha... Come see us..Nelda
ReplyDeleteLove it Nelda, nope never count the fires we put on the china painting, would scare us to death.
