I just finished up two painter blends to add to my services. One is of my daughter Katelynne, the other is an image I created of myself and Katelynne for our home that I played with using this technique.
It was first painted in Corel Painter, then finished off in Photoshop tweaking colors and blending with textures found on the web.
This is a painting I did of a recent portrait of my daughter.
This first version had a vignette around it, and I was really up in the air about that. I got some great feedback from friends on Paint Outside the Frame about that.....it distracted more than drew the eye due to certain elements of the portrait, like the plain wall at top with little detail to bring the vignette out to the bottom of the image being more detailed which made the painting look "unfinished". So, I nixed the vignette. Although a friend on Pro4um liked it.
The updated version is without the vignette, more visually appealing now.
