The course is presented with Ulead PhotoImpact in mind but is general in scope so that any graphics application can be used. I am using both Corel Painter IX and Adobe Photoshop CS. Lots of drawing and painting basics information!

The Work

The exercise really needed more time on my part, but I still consider myself as having learned more than I knew before! Said this last week, saying it again!

1. The sketches were a lot of fun and, considering that I have not done much sketching, I am a bit le with what came out of it.
2. I didn't have time to get to winter...I filled these in rather quickly trying to get the colors of the seasons.
3. This poppy was the most fun! Used several different brushes in Painter but find that I really like using then Artists' Oils and Airbrush, I did use the chalk also with the poppy and found it just right for giving a 'dusty' look in some places on the flower.

Thanks, Hillary, loved everything I learned and hope to continue developing the things I didn't have time to get to do.
