This is truly a practice session: First item, no longer have a simple insert for pictures in this. If it does work, I am trying to do the portrait by drawing first in Procreate Painter and then developing the features, shading etc. with the Canvas Paint program. The first makes the lines easier to do in light and dark choices of brush and the latter enables pushing and blending of color more effectively. I am finding working on the small area of the WACOM very different than with my water color brushes and so am still a learner. I thought you might both share my attempts and give advice. Fran

This is well-rendered, Fran. I have tried this type of “painting” before and it does require a steady hand. It is certainly not easy.

I would love to do this but haven’t a clue how. What kind of programs are Procreate Painter and Canvas Paint? What an amazing thing to be able to do, Fran.

It can be exasperating to paint using the computer vs. real watercolours, oils, brushes etc. I’ve always used PSP and it’s plugins to version 7.0 after which I’ve not updated the software as my computer is simply too old and underpowered. Still it was convincing enough that at one point I sold the “painting” before having it put on canvas and had to quicky copy it in paint on canvas to give to the purchaser who never knew it had been a “virtual painting” first.
My best friend is my scanner, I doubt I will ever have the patience to go completely digital. Whatever I do must be done in a passional hour or won’t be done - a character flaw I suppose.
