Once all the elements were in
place, I created a couple of custom brushes
to start with,
then I simply used those brushes as
I would use my regular paintbrushes.
5.
By using the Brush tool dockers, playing with the transparency settings,
sizes, and rotation, I was able to simulate the way that I
normally paint.
6.
Next, I used the Eyedropper to pick certain
colors that I linked from the original picture.
7.
I chose complimentary colors from
the Color docker, to paint
shadows and highlights. |
Like anything else, it takes time and con-
centration
to create something beautiful. I hope that when you look at Figure 3,
you will feel I succeeded.
The
Gardens Scene
This piece was based on an original
large- format Trompe L'Oeil mural that I created
on canvas for a customer here in the
state of Florida. |

Working
with
a
computer is
very
close to
painting
with
real
colors,
except
you
don't get dirty.
I
love it!
