Well, I am making progress – I hope you think so after what I showed you yesterday. \u00a0That was playtime – \u00a0this is more serious.<\/p>\n

I started with this photograph. \u00a0 I think I was in – I am not sure really. \u00a0I will do better with that next time. Anyway… the photo from which I painted…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I then took in into Corel Painter. \u00a0This is how I set up my workspace. \u00a0I am surrounded by many tools, brushes even images when I paint.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thus is a screenshot I took while I painted. \u00a0It shows the canvas I am painting on, to the right of that, there is a selection of paper textures I can bring into my painting to simulate watercolor paper or many other textures I might want to include. Next, my color wheel and to the right of that many short cuts for actions I might take during the course of my painting. \u00a0On the bottom row you see another, what we call “custom pallet”. \u00a0It is a way of keeping some of my favorite tools, commands and brushes close at hand. Next you see a blue toned water color image by traditional water colorist David Taylor. \u00a0I wanted to keep it close at hand to reference his style and just for inspiration. \u00a0Beyond that – more tools. \u00a0Beyond that a mixer pad. \u00a0I can mix colors on the mixing pad, just as any artist would use a mixing pad. \u00a0In addition, new to Painter 12.1 I can bring in an image to my mixer pad \u00a0to use in my selection of colors. \u00a0In this instance, \u00a0you can see a small version of my reference image. it served two purposes. One, I could select my colors from it as I painted, and two, it also served as my visual reference for the \u00a0painting.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is my final image – at least for today. \u00a0I enjoyed painting it.<\/p>\n
