Patricia, if you use Project Dogwaffle then you may have Gertrudis. Am trying out some free-hand brush work with it. The second (and last) image I sent was done that way. Not as good as real smudging I suppose, but it gets me in the ballpark. And maybe with a few more attempts and some more digging I may get closer. Who Knows?

Also am glad Craig posted re. smudging in PSP. That sounds like a very good technique. Will give it a shot, but I don't expect to post anything for a good long time.

Been trying to find a tute for PSP9 for smudging...no luck yet but will keep my eyes open...My favorite program to smudge in is Project Dogwaffle then i like Twisted brush, I can smudge okay in photoshop too but I find it quite hard in PSP9 so you must be good if you are doing it in there.....

Craig...Lovely...like everything about it and the lighting is just right too...

Hello Steve...

I dont have Gertrudis but did have a trial run with it and thought it good...but havent bought it yet...I think you are the first person that i have come across that also uses project Dogwaffle...I really like it and am only using the free version at the moment but will upgrade as soon as i have the pennies...

Kind of Craig to post the info and its just to practice...I am sure you will get there...

So I will look forward to your first smudge painting....

Patricia....

Sorry didn't mean to mis-lead you. I bought the stand-alone version of Gertrudis Pro. Never tried Dog Waffle.

As for the smudge painting that may take some time.

By golly it is free! Thanks for letting me know about this version.

Can't go wrong with that price. So I got it. I am not much with a brush, so let's see how much guidance It will give me as I try to use it.

Will let you know if I'm in over my head or not.

well, since we're talking smudges, i thought i'd re-visit that style a bit. i dont know if you'd call this one a true smudge or not. it was a two smudge layers and some blends. on one layer i did small and medium smudging and on the other i did larger smudges. all the brushes were smooth brushes this time. there was also a lot of light opacity finish work, which is why i guess i'm reluctant to call this a true smudge. on the large smudge layer, which was the top one, i blended to the others with soft light.

so, this one doesnt have the normal deep lines or stroke look of a normal smudge. it's almost more of a blur than a smudge. still, i kind of like it.
