18 Feb 18 Comment Tom,I love the cropping and the dramatic color. I'm bothered, though, by the blobs of color on her arm. Otherwise, it's certainly an effective painting. Feb 3rd

56 Feb 18 Reply Thank you, Nancy. Please continue using Painter and perhaps we can help each other out. I like the fact that you can mix paints, just like in real painting. My biggest problem at the moment is finding brushes that work the way I want them to. Feb 15th
56 Feb 18 Reply Many, many thanks, Gerhard. I'm glad you were able to transfer to this group along with me. Feb 14th
56 Feb 18 Reply Thanks, Pat. I'll work on it and add a bit deeper color in the background rather than making is stark white. Feb 12th
56 Feb 18 Comment Beautiful painting, Gerhard. In addition to adding a bit of background, I suggest you add a subtle shadow so the lovely flower doesn't seem to float in the air. Feb 11th
56 Feb 18 Reply Thanks for your encouraging comments and for welcoming to this terrific group of painters. Feb 11th
56 Feb 18 Comment Your color enhancements and removal of the distractions certainly help make this an effective picture. I agree that pasting in another sky would make it even better. Also, how about cropping it a bit from the left so the bridge is not so centered? Feb 11th
56 Feb 18 Comment Flipping the image of the man definitely improves the composition of this very well-done painting. Feb 11th
56 Feb 18 Comment I hate winter, but your stunning painting makes me appreciate the season's beauty. It's absolutely lovely,Jeanine. Feb 11th
56 Feb 18 Comment This really glows and is more impressive as a painting than the original photograph. Beautifully done, Cyril. Feb 11th
56 Feb 18 Reply Thank you, Cyril. I'm sorry I didn't paste this description into my submission. Here is how I did it:
White Lily

How I Did It

I am intrigued and challenged by making a basically white-on-white, high-key painting. I cropped and did some basic enhancements in Photoshop before opening the photo in Corel Painter. I worked with several of the painting brushes as well as blender brushes. I'm trying to learn how to use Painter and I welcome any help you artists can give me.
