In memory of those who lost their lives....
Introduction to Painter

Restoring Brushes; Homemade Paper; Creating New Paper Textures; Painting with Patterns; Brush Controls; Recording Brush Strokes

The first paper I created is called "Scribbly Dots" as I used the dots paper first and then added the scribbles on top of that. I've shown the original as well as a sample with a different color.

I called my second paper Linen Concrete as I combined those two in creating it. Again, the original is on the left and the sample using a color is on the right.

Once the papers were created we did a painting using them. I painted a duckling and used the Scribbly Dots on the duck. The grass and sky were done using the Linen Concrete. The duck's bill and legs and feet were also painted with Crayon, but not with the papers.

Next we created a furry texture and used it in painting a cat. The cat, as you can see, is really quite rough, but I kind of like the swirly texture effect.

The last exercise I completed was the Pattern Painting starting with a Textured paper. I then erased the upper portion of the texture. Next I painted a vase, greens and flowers using patterns. I also added an additional pattern to the vase at that point. Then I switched to the Digital Watercolor brush and painted the shadow and then the upper background.

Given the limited number of patterns available, the options for the painting were limited. I'm assuming that one either makes or downloads other patterns to expand the collection if they want more choices.

I didn't get to the scripting exercise as I just didn't have the time. Once again, this was a really full lesson! Thank you, Karen.
