Thanks to some friends inviting me to join another Blog, I'm finally getting the hang of how to post and edit Blog stuff. The only point of this exercise will be to show off my art. Posting pictures. This painting reflects some skills newly acquired in photoshop. Primarily duplicating layers, adjusting the duplicates color, darkness, color balance etc, then making it an alpha channel that I mix back into the original. Because color painting gives me so much anxiety ( I'm color blind) I first finish the painting as a gray value study and then colorize it with a complimentary color scheme. Here it's mostly orange and blue.
