A Love for Digital Painting
This was a digital painting I did for my wife for Valentine’s Day. I did a search for roses on the internet and this was the coolest one I came across. It was great for turning into good practice at the art of painting in photoshop. The finished result looked as good, if not better, than anything I did during my studio days at Texas Tech. It was also nice that it only took me about 45 minutes to do (while the kids were napping) and didn’t involve any cleanup. Funny how several of the same techniques I used with that medium carried over to this piece. I still have those memories of my clothes being covered in charcoal when coming back to the dorms my freshman year after another 3 hours class of drawing….good times! Anyways, I hope to get better at this and maybe start doing pieces for other people in the future…..atleast making some very nice prints for starters
