@Corrie Kinkel... i am glad you found those Dot brushes Corrie, there are a few packs of them, did you download them all. Stuart has done a great job creating them and such a variety to choose from. I will be using them often because they will add a great effect especially with masks. best wishes Dawn.

Here is Lesson 7 and the final one for this workshop. which I have enjoyed doing Thank you very much Carole for all your efforts in putting together these workshops especially for Affinity as well as PSP. i am learning a lot from your Affinity tutorials as well as some techniques that i did not know or had forgotten about PSP . For this final Lesson i used a photo from pixabay and another png mask from my purchased collection. The sentement is from a digital stamp. The created element behind the photo was done from a tutorial by Andrew Buckle on his youtube channel graphicxtras.com. This was an easy way to create polkadot pattern in Affinity. Have really enjoyed viewing everyone's creations and i send best wishes to you all, Dawn.

Here is Lesson 6. chose this mask out of my collection of png masks to use on the rose for a different effect. the picture is from a purchased cd . The Voroni filter was a bit of a challenge to get right effect that i wanted but in the end think this filter has possibilities. the sentiment is from a digital stamp by Power Poppy purchased a few years ago. also used another Dot brush TB Dots01-Pack 7 by StuartRc mainly just to give a bit of extra colour around the mask.

@Cristina Thank you for your comments on the layout and brushes in the lessons pages i did. My cousin took a few photos of her trip however she passed away a few years ago but i am sure she would have said the same thing about the lake being a peaceful place. ...... Best wishes to you Cristina.

Hello Jeni, looks like we both found the same brushes on that Affinity Forum with StuartRc brushes. they are really great don't you agree. There is about 12 packs of the different Dot brushes and i downloaded them all. Your Cathedral Cliffs looks terrific with the brush on the edges. best wishes to you, Dawn.

Here is Lesson 5... Photo is from Pixabay. Thought bubble a PSP shape. used the same brush as Carole used in video and leaf image is an old tiff image from a cd i purchased years ago. everyone is doing wonderful pages and a pleasure to view them.

Here is my Lesson 3 and Lesson 4. Both photos were taken by my cousin about 20years ago when she did a group trip. the png masks used on both are from an old software i had called Craft Artist. the brushes used on softening edges are free ones downloaded from an Affinity Forum i found when searching for brushes called TB Dots 01 pack 11.

Here is my Day 2 Lesson inAffinity. This photo was taken by my sister-in-law when she and her husband went on a car trip there about 7 years ago. The Purnululu National Park is in the Bungle Bungle Range in Western Australia and is a World Heritage Site. Thank You Carole for showing how to do Plaid using the photos colours which i used on the background paper it is a technique that i am sure will use often. I will again say that everyone is doing beautiful work in this workshop Best wishes to everyone, Dawn

Lesson 1. Using Affinity. the dahlia image i have had a long time they were on a cd that i purchased. Have enjoyed viewing everyone's pages.. they are all beautifully done.

I am looking forward to doing this workshop with Affinity.

I also want to say how much i have enjoyed viewing everyone's postings during this workshop. the creativity shown is very inspiring for me as i learn how to do vectors Best wishes to everyone, Dawn

Carole you asked in your comment about my painted rose whether it on canvas or digital painted .. I hand painted it on a small canvas with acrylic paints and then scanned it into my computer so i could use them on my printed cards etc. I intend to have a go at it digitally in the Free Krita Painting Software some time in the future... hopefully i will succeed doing it that way as i don't do it the traditionial way anymore. Day 7 Last Day of the workshop for vectors..... I am going to keep practising on all that i have learnt.

Day 6 ....Thank You Carole for the brush set they will come in very handy.

Thank You Cristina!. Best wishes to you, Dawn.

Day 5... The Folk Art Rose i painted many years ago at the beginning of my painting journey and I will use this result with the text along path and the circles on a card I intend to make. Everyone is doing great creative work and a pleasure to view. best wishes to all,
