Photo Details

Used paint brush or airbrush when too small for paint bucket.  When done with adding all the color I wanted, used the lasso tool to roughly cut away all the darker areas to reveal black layer below and create flatter color.  Went to white layer and filled it in with yellow using paint bucket.

Well it's not impressionist, but I love it! Excellent color choices. Great poster!

Thanks for your comments! I was going for a Toulouse Latrec poster style, and trying really hard to squeeze him into the impressionist era. I found out he is categorized as "post impressionist". Does that count??? Say yes.

Real nice effect. I reminds me of comic book style. I like the solid colors. I was hoping so see something different with this one and you sure gave it to me.

I think it is fantastic!!!! I just love the bright colors, and that's coming from one who prefers more subdued colors. maybe I will get really daring and try it

This really has a handmade quality, it's just lovely. It's got a great "Pop Art" feel that is deceptively simple. Putting her on that rich yellow background really adds to this handmade quality.
