Lee Oil Demo

Here's an in-class demo for traditional portrait painting using mostly Oil brush variants. From a photo I took of a friend.

Watercolor Still Life

Here's a demo I did when the "new" watercolor brushes were introduced in Painter. While I agree that they can produce a more "authentic" watercolor look on the computer than the now-called "digital" watercolor brushes, I still wish they were faster and less memory intensive.

Doglegs

Here's a painting I did of my dog while first learning Painter. She used to really lay under the bed with her legs splayed like this. I experimented with the impasto paint look and used mostly Oil Brushes. I've since decided I don't really like the digital impasto effects, but I still don't mind them here too much.

Watercolor & Line Landscape.

Here's another early piece, done as an exercise for a class I taught. I scanned in a pencil line drawing done from a photo I took, and colored the line as well as the image itself, using the Digital Watercolor brushes.

Plant pastel

I'm getting the feel for this by putting up some early more "traditional" looking works.This is one of the very first images I ever did in Painter, probably version 3 over 10 years ago.
