Must get to grips with Photoshop myself. I really enjoyed the veggie assignment once I found the right subjects, hope you get on well with this one. :)Jarnie Godwin https://www.blogger.com/profile/02232816902329798635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422540183514440215.post-41322981213148977762012-02-13T07:30:43.812-08:002012-02-13T07:30:43.812-08:00Great blog post, good luck with the vegetables ......Great blog post, good luck with the vegetables ...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422540183514440215.post-48410832308921513422012-02-12T07:39:15.206-08:002012-02-12T07:39:15.206-08:00Jess - also I would love to paint something with l...Jess - also I would love to paint something with leaves as I feel there is more scope for composition ...

Nice quote. I remember I had this trouble with the fruit study, so I totally feel for you. In both cases, I just ended up going for what I thought were the most complicated subjects (so I wouldn't get bored). I hope you find something to paint. When is the deadline?<br /><br />I like your new photoshop'd image and really want to know how you did it. I realy struggle with Photoshop... very new to it. My mum tried to show me a few tricks, but it just didn't work. Blanching the paper ruined the painting by bleaching it too. <br /><br />Can't wait to see you... not long now!Inky Leaveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00790360372622501431noreply@blogger.com
