Re: local lakes

Again thanks for the play Palms. I like it when you go snap happy and share your captures with us for play. Went Gouache for this result. Click here for complete rendition.

Re: local lakes

Great pics Palms and I find being "snap happy" can be very relaxing. I started with the flowers with an Oil and a Watercolor.

Re: local lakes

These are really pretty scenes, Palms. Thanks for sharing them w/ us.

Enjoyed this very much, and used some of the great textures I've been finding/making lately. I'd like an opinion on the second version...perhaps dodge here & there, lighten things up a bit. What do you think? Thanks.

Newbie Re: local lakes

Here is a Radial Acrylic, at least that is what Filter Forge said it is. Ran it thru PS first, the FF, and back in PS to bring out the face a tiny little bit.

Thanks so much for the play on this.

Re: local lakes

Still experimenting with a technique that I call Urban Acid since the result reminds me of some of the UA renders that I've seen. Again, thanks for the play Palms.
