Being new to Painter 8 I've been, in recent times, frustrated with terms I did not understand that are used by Painter users such as 'wet on wet' etc. You've enlightened me once again Danny and I can't thank you enough.

For those new to Painter I'd like to mention "The Painter 8 Wow Book" (written by Cher Threinen-Pendarvis)which I recently purchased and received a week ago. This book is an inspiration, VERY enlightening indeed and at last I feel I can now settle back and really enjoy all that Painter has to offer.

I bought Painter 8 a while ago, but could never quite get going with it. So I bought Jeremy Sutton's book, but it has been sitting on my shelf, waiting for, I don't know, time, inspiration, what ever.

After reading your post, Danny, I dusted both off last night, and started in. I've only worked through to page 30 of the book, I stopped there to play with cloning. (with Hubby out of town, and no one to remind me to go to bed, you don't want to know how late it was when I quit . . . )

The waterfall was done with the Artist - Sargent brush, and the gull with the Artist - Impressionist brush.

Wow! I'm in heaven, I think I really am beginning to understand how it works. Now I have to tell myself to quit playing, and go back to working through the book. This is so much fun! And I have literally hundreds of images from my travels to work with . . . just never enough time.

Anybody got a few spare hours they could pass on to me?

WOW Particia, I'm impressed and not only with the techniques but with the photography of the bird. Great shot.

Sorry, Janet, I forgot to mention that neither of these are my photos - they're from a challenge in another group.

Thanks for the kind words, anyway.

Congratulations on rolling up your sleeves, taking the leap and going to work, Patricia. You're doing terrific. These are simply wonderful. I especially like the artiness of the gull!

Keep on keepin' on, but do catch a few zzzzz's once in awhile!

The gull is a beauty, wonderful work Patricia. I've yet to roll up the sleeves! A pleasure to view your work.
