Aug. 6:WDE: Raise a glass at the Pig and Whistle

[Charlie's Mum]

Digi, Corel Essentials 4 done at 300dpi. aprox 2hrs.
'Oil sketch'
I first did a 'pen' sketch digi, which was OK, then I added 'oil paint' - yuk.
I can't get a canvas texture with this programme, only offers 'paper' and I can't get an oils pointed brush - probably my own fault - the whole programme frustrates me!:( :(
Never mind - I WILL keep persevering :lol:

Thanks for looking at this effort!!:D

Gosh you're quick girl!!!!! Thank you :)

Just put a message in Weeders for you too ;)

[connievanwinssen]

Very good! And I didn't see it was digital, which is even better, because I can always tell:)

This one is a winner, it would make a nice card or menu cover! I like the loose look and paper texture, too. Kurlie 8-)

You caught the relaxed atmosphere beautifully. Your digi paintings are wonderful and I envy your control of the stylis. My poor old brain just cant get the hang of it.

[T.T(kei)]

Great !! I love this your style very much!

[Vivien Maloney]

Your digis are great, Maureen. I can't get the hang of digi work , I'm hopeless at it.

[Signchick]

This is amazing, Maureen! I would have never guessed it was digital. The bits and pieces left unpainted really add to the whole affect! Love it!!!!! "clap:

[Deano]

This looks wonderful, Maureen! Just enough detail! I think the texture appears fine...it doesn't bother me not being canvas.

[justjean]
