      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!

                            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)

                                    @Naroth-Kean Very pretty. I love the little canopied cradle boat, the little stars, the little bending trees and houses. Was any of this done on real paper or was it all Photoshop? (I have never painted digitally--don't have the resources right now, but am thinking about it a lot!)

                                      @anthemsweet thank you for the kind words. Everything was done in Photoshop however the texture is scanned from a real watercolor paper. I hope you will have fun with digital painting!
