watercolor brush

So I love painter for the look of the organic brushes...but hate the pixels it crops when you work in anything but 100 percent. So I find I tend to stay with photoshop and work on the 25/50/100 so I get an accurate depiction of the artwork. The trouble I find in Photoshop though is the ability to pick up colors and drag along with the brush tip. I will have to do some watercolors in a bit for a project and lat night I was playing around with trying to get an organic brush for watercolors.. here is my palette.

Birthday

So today is my birthday and I thought I would update the blog with a present to you. I'm sick of them after 30 years, I find it much nice to give then receive. Not that I'm a nice guy or anything I just hate when you unwrap a gift and you look with horror at what it is, while trying to convey a look of pure joy and happiness on your face. I fail miserably at this.

Book mock up

So I wanted to get back to doing what I want with my life and that's doing book covers. So here is a painting I did and had fun with a bit more blocky painting style leaving lots of brush strokes unfinished. As always Enjoy.
