          Maybe I should try one of this two techniques for Feb 3rd Thursday. I actually really like the pastel look. Saving-a-blue-bird.jpg

                This is Kyle's Watercolor brushes set. I think his brushes create very soft watercolor feel while my method creates thicker paint. Interesting, might integrate some of his brushes with mine in later project. Brushes were used: Kyle's realwatercolor - Wamazing soft 175 , Kyle's rewatercolor - Wamazingl Wax Resist, and Kyle's realwatercolor - Wamazing 80 Multiply.Kyle-brushes.jpg

                  @Naroth-Kean Pretty. It looks misty. We live in a fishing village in Alaska and I've seen the water do something like this. Our bay is called Ketchemak Bay which means "smoky" bay. It looks like home to me. 🙂

                      @Pamela-Fraley Thanks Pam for the kind words 🙂 I'm glad you find it relative. It must be very beautiful over there with all the water and real stuffs haha. I love water and I do a lot of water illustration. Checked you works on instagram and I really like them. Watercolor is my all time favorite.

                                I really liked my previous finished piece, but I used it just for the purpose of playing with my new snow brushes- the flakes are a little exaggerated but it was so much fun!

                                  that looks really cool and I like that! Those snowflakes are not only just one design but several, very nice.

                                      This is a piece I have been working on for a small competition on Freelancer.com, and I'm glad I found a way to do cracking salt kind of texture for the background with just photoshop brush. I'm very interested in oil brushes, and I would love to see more of your experiment with them (I painted for the first time with oil back in a community college and loved it till I developed allergic reaction to turpentine so I had to stop)
