Blog 6 Painting Flamingos

      Here is a finished product using the brush I described in earlier blogs.  The American Flamingo in the foreground...Chilean Flamingos in the background.
You  can see the brush work in this closeup. 
 I painted the set of flamingos, seen here at http://www.strengthinperspective.com/Pictures-DigitalCollections/FlamingoPaintings-61/FlamingoPaintings.html  when I knew VERY little about brushes.

I was familiar with photoshop...CS5...so I cracked open Painter X and familiarized myself with some of the new jargon...then I went to California to a retreat led by Karen Sperling.  She is a hard working artist with a knack for explaining things in language you really understand.  It is a gift you give yourself to study under a talented computer artist.  Thanks Karen.
