Painting

Digital painting class is pretty cool.  We are using Corel Painter 11.  I get to bring my Bamboo Fun tablet in to school to use and practice with.

The other day we learned charcoal and pastels.

Here is my charcoal sphere:  Used different sized charcoals and the smudge blender.

Second the pastel work:  This was created following an exercise from our book.  Started off with a tan colored paper surface instead of white.  Used a large square pastel to roughly block in colors, then smudge blend and rough blend.  To finish the details, a smaller pastel brush size was used.
