Artober so far

[green_knight]

(I’m posting this now in case anyone is interested in the course(s) I am taking; they are only available until the end of the month. You can find details on my journal)

I’m a relative newcomer to painting, though I’ve done other forms of art (photography, photo manipulation) for some time.

I acquired Painter 2020 in the Humblebundle and through watching the brushpack tutorials, stumbled across Karen Bonaker and initially signed up only for the Sumi-e course.

(You cand find my daily posts, many with examples, on the Artober tag on my journal. I did not finish a painting every day, but I worked on something most days, other than when my graphics tablet broke.)

Here's an exercise I did today, which is much more confident and much looser than anything I could have produced at the beginning of the month.

Wow, pretty! Fascinating how much the texture is able to mimic real watercolour especially with the layered transparency. :)

Such pretty colors! I love the cheer and expression of this piece.

Pretty.

Wow, that really does look like traditional inking or watercolour! But it's digital, with special brushes and techniques that you're learning? It's great!
