This is another practice session trying both brushes and blender and using a bucket. Fran

Snail Shell in Oils

 

The first time I did a picture of a snail shell was several months ago. Now that I have had some practice with the wacom tablet and Corel Painter X, I decided to have another try. I like the way the oils work.

First Watercolor Attempt: Koi

Here is my first attempt at digital watercolor.  I don’t have Corel but I do have Photoshop.  Photoshop is far inferior to Corel in terms of painting, but I managed to figure out the Photoshop brushes based upon Genece’s excellent instructions for Corel.  I think I might get the hang of this eventually.

Blue Bird Trial Run

 

I am trying to use Corel and follow instructions!–spoiled by not having

my Canvas push tool which allows blending with a brush. Am I missing something?

Love the Corel colours but am still making decisions. Fran

Vi’s Tiger

Well, here is my tiger, my first digital painting. Not nearly as good as shewolfy’s. Her’s is so more true to life.

I had difficulty controlling the mouse, especially in the smaller spaces.  There has to be a Wacom tablet in my future. I am so pleased though that I have, thanks to Genece’s tutorial, learned so much.
