Amazingly beautiful!

I know what the general title says, but the sub title says it's on brown paper, but how did you do this, if you're not using rough-faced art-paper here and a pastel? I'm guessing you are a sand-artist but maybe I'm wrong. I'm wondering also if the painting is sprayed on or is 'sanded' on. So many questions in my curious mind.

Do tell.

Note to myself:
Inspiration.

Thank you, I'm just learning how to draw in Photoshop, this is one example of my work. And you can do it also, it's not complicated!

I use Photoshop CS4 and I have the "Adobe Photoshop CS4 book for digital photographers", edited by Scot Kelby. But I'm not a trained artist and have only recently started to do my artwork. I use pastels and paper mainly but I also try my hand at digital painting. There are several excellent artists in OC and I draw (no pun intended) inspiration from one very special artist.

If this example is your early learning curve in using photoshop I'm inferring that you are already also an experienced artist. PS is good but if one does not have an innate or taught/learned ability PS will mean a longer learning curve because it's only a tool (but a powerful one). That's my opinion of course.

You're right. It's only a tool, but still if one does not have an experience in art/drawing by "hands" without PC, this powerful tool can give necessary minimum of satisfaction in artwork results, which were made using PC.

I'm not very experienced artist, I use both Photoshop and Lightroom to process my digital photos. But sometimes I want to create something new, something that I can't do using my digital camera only. And friends keep ask me on possibility of having my prints, not only photos, but these photo-experiments. This fact rouses me to continue my work.

I use PS mainly for photos but sometimes for my "art" , pastel paintings,and for my digital art, when I do these things. I haven't, yet, been as creative as I would wish to be, for although I am an accomplished writer I don't have an innate ability to creat art the way my very special artist/illustrator does, or in the way that others, including you, from what I see here, do. But I enjoy looking at paintings and being inspired, in some way, by what I see.
