| | | I quite agree Duv and a great result.
Well I bit off more than I could chew with this fine looking lady today. There's so much going on re colours of her skin. Found this extremely difficult to do...this is the result of my 3rd try.
Painter 8.1
Started off cloning...
oils/smeary bristle spray/
69/22/5/100/20 on her hair
then
Soft Cloner/hair - 11.3/10/0.00
New layer
filled skin areas totally with a pale beige colour.
New layer
Cloners/Wet Oil - face, neck, top, necklace and more on hair.
then got in such a muddle I forgot to write anything down after that.... |

| | | Another illustration. The Norman Rockwell watercolor illustration was my motivation that started me onto doing computer renderings several years ago. Not quite there yet, but I'm getting very close. Hope you like this one.  |
