Delicate Flower Poste created with Corel Painter 12

 Taking the Corel Painter 12 course from Judy Horn has added a lot of pleasure to my artmaking! I have always enjoyed working with digital media, especially as a graphic designer. However, this program is providing me with a new tool to create painterly images I love from my photos and artwork.

The panel below is taken from a larger piece, called Faux Victorian Post which I created using tiny reall Victorian-era paper scrap (which they used in their fabulous scrapbooks!). Each little panel is about 1" x 1 1/2" and I have wanted to play wiht making the images bigger as they are so beautiful. Painting them with Corel Painter 12 made that possible. I am going to have a lot of fun with this program, even as I return to my paper-making roots -- the ultimate of making art by hand...
