I owe an apology to all of my friends and followers who
posted comments. They were waiting for approval in my posting panel. Blogger
used to notify me when I had comments to approve, but I must have turned off
the notification as I just discovered them hidden in the tons of spam. I will
try and locate and respond to your comments ASAP. Thank you so much to all of
you that have put up with my lack of posting and responding. Since I have
become a member of the digital art community I have neglected my blog. I hope
you will continue to follow me and comment.
I recently watched a favorite DVD again by Carla O'Conner
titled Figure Design in Gouache. You can see a preview of it here and if you like it the nice thing is you can rent it. Carla's rich designs
inspired me to use one of the journal pages I made with Citrasolv as a background
for a figurative painting in Painter 12. Using the journal page as my canvas I proceeded
to paint on top of it in another layer,( actually several) integrating the
figure into the design. One of my online Painter friends said it reminded her
of Klimt work. Of course I was flattered, but the repetition of the gold like
shapes could make one think of Klimt. It was fun and now I am eager to create
more backgrounds with Citrasolv for my Painter12 creations.
