I have just deleted a post I had put up a couple of days ago. Sorry for confusing everyone!? Just tried to repost it after doing some more more work on it but not having much success. Will try again later.

No need to delete a post to replace an image: (once you delete the post, you cannot revive it. I can (see above):
* Click "Edit" button
* Click "Manage Attachments"
* Click "Remove" to remove the old one... then replace it with another.

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.

Welcome, Smitcy... Glad you joined in the fun. Looks like you have a knack for this sort of thing.

Which program(s) did you use?

Re: Creative Portraits: Grandma

Artistic Portrait...
Graphics #1, having character is a beautiful thing...
Graphics #2, I added Dark Strokes and Underpainting for a touch of glamour...

Janet Petty - Thank you...

I see the world thought the eyes of a 71 year old man, they are a little soft focused...

Grandma....a different approach.

And no, I didn't hate my grandmothers.
