Playing With Paint


I received some new software as part of my birthday present a few weeks back. It's Corel Painter Essentials 4.

I've never used it before, but decided I'd just jump in and start playing.

I learned a long time ago that if I mess with bead photos, it looks far better than if I choose a photo of a family member. The change in colors and varied brush strokes can make someone look like an alien pretty quickly if you've got my expertise.

So I picked a little pup that I recently listed. She's a lampwork bead who needs a home.

Here's my modern art twist. I like the soft effect of the pastel colors blended together. I guess they're colors I would use in glass beads. Now my question is whether I want to try a bead that blends colors and looks like this?

  4. Okay, the little doggie got me!! THAT IS SO ADORABLE and hopefully will be heading my way :)

    I have a white bichon and poodle. Both are senior citizens, but at first glance might still appear to be puppies! Love this!

  5. Hi there! I received the puppy today and the extra special gift, thank you so much! I've been trying to get a good photo of it to post on my blog tonight. If I can't I'm hoping you won't mind me using the one on your blog. I LOVE IT! thank you!
