| | | Re: Creative Interpretations- Dancers Lyle- great metallic look
Swampy- another wonderful watercolor
I am attempting Painter. I realize my painting is nothing amazing. But I'm pretty happy just figuring out the brushes  I would not let myself revert to Photoshop till I had finished it!  |

| | | Re: Creative Interpretations- Dancers For some reason this image didn't seem to look very good no matter what I threw at it. Never-the-less I kept throwing, just mainly to have something to post. So here is what I finally came up with.

| | | Re: Creative Interpretations- Dancers Jordan, you did a great job in Painter. I just can't figure out the brushes. What did you use?
Well, Steve, it's great, if you asked me. |

| | | Re: Creative Interpretations- Dancers Thank you Swampy, although I think you're being kind  I know I used one of the Digital Watercolor brushes, because I heard they were easier than the regular WC brushes. But I looked back through them and none of the names sound familiar!
Steve- I know what you mean. I redid & redid mine several times. I quite like what you came up with though. |

| | | Re: Creative Interpretations- Dancers This is my first post to any forum here, but couldn't resist the colorful image.
Changed the background scene to get rid of the distractions and did an illustrated (smudging and diffuse anistropic) look in CS3 to maintain the vibrant colors in the dresses.
