Jacques

I've been using Painter for a few years now, but more regularly recently.

Hello. Cassel allowed me to publish a "painting" that I made from a screenshot:

My "paintings" start from a photo and I use the "Corel Painter" program (and not physical brushes, oil, canvas, etc.). The tool offers several digital "brushes" of different shapes. One of the styles I prefer is that of Van Gogh. As for this photo of my grandson:

This is a screenshot of you in your Santa hat taken during one of your presentations. I'll email it to you.

I also have one from Cassel. If she allows me, I will publish it here!!!

Here is one of my "paintings"

Q = Quaker Moth (Orthosia gracilis) or Queen Butterfly (Danaus gilippus)

I have a phobia of spiders 😞 A little anecdote. Newlywed. In the middle of the night, my wife woke me up and told me there was a spider in the bed. In less than 10 seconds, there were no more blankets on the bed. I looked at my wife like a "Zombie." Then I realized she was dreaming. I remade the bed and we went back to bed (me with one eye half open just in case...) And you, what is your "phobia"?

Between two brush strokes (lol), I did this

I think there are two "Jacques"!!! For me: no, not yet (I have a digital painting to finish first with Corel Painter).

My project days 3 and 4. The original photo is a black and white one that my father took and that I "colored."

Foot !

My 2nd version (inspired by the tutorial "https://scrapbookcampus.com/element-creation-index/button")

My first draft of day 2

For my part, as I often use PSP to make changes to my photos, I also use the "Adjust" (Réglage) tab. I prefer the color "Anthracite"

I will participate too.

But we should not replace quantity with quality.

It is easier today to take multiple photos with digital cameras and cards containing more and more memory space. On the other hand, the limit of photos on film, required us to take the "Good Photo" from the right angle of view.

This day of May 19, 2017, I took nearly 150 photos (not all good). Here are some of them.

My Day 7 : A summary of the giant puppets...

My day 6 (I used "New Mask Layer|Show Selection" to include the giant inset.)

My day 5 (I used a "guideline" to help me divide the masks into 2 equal sections)

La suite....
