5 more digital works.

Hi! I hope you all had a great and festive Christmas filled with joy and love! For the first time in over a hundred years we had 2 white Christmases in a row teehee. I love the snow don't you?!

I have been really busy this afternoon, I finished of 5 digital paintings I have been working on for a couple of weeks. And I have been fiddling around in ArtRage2 a digital painting program I heard about at LMM (Loving Mixed Media) It's quite unique, you can achieve real life painting textures. I'm not quite sure if I will use it a lot, I have a demo version and If I like it enough I will buy it, it's only 20 bucks! That's really cheap for a digital program.

now back to the digital paintings created with PSP X2.

My first altered doll!

Hi there!
I've been working on this before I got the flue and since I'm feeling a whole lot better I got to finish it. This is made with an old dollhouse doll and toilet refresher, those with that gelly kind of scented blocks in them. I don't know how you call those in English. I just cut a window out of it, primed and painted the whole thing. On the inside I painted it silver and glued fine black netting in. The doll was primed and painted as well, and I used crackle medium on both of them. Then I wraped around some wire and embellished it with small chain and charms. I had no theme in mind when I started this, I just went with the flow and can say I really like altering dolls, you can bet I will make some more!







Have a great day and play!

2 more digital paintings

Hi there!

I still don't feel well, although it's getting a little better everyday, the flue monster still keeps me company and makes me see strange things LOL I have picked myself up from bed to play with Paint Shop Pro again with the next digital paintings as a result!

I have been asked numerous times how I make these paintings and if I would like to share my knowledge, I'm so glad that I can teach instead of learn! So I'm working on a tutorial on how to make these in Paint Shop Pro X2... stay tuned!


Have a great day and play!

2 more digital paintings

Hey peeps!

boredom, the flue and all the amazing responses I had on my digital painting I posted yesterday on different forums and community's made me go and make a couple of more digital creations.
I really like them, I'm even thinking about making prints out of them for sale. And I'm sure I will use them in my artwork somehow, as a collage image or transfer!

Canvas collage and digital painting

Hi there!

I've got some things I wanted to share with you, I've been coming down with the flu and feel terrible, but I have 2 things I've made these before I got sick. The first is a vintage collage I made on a canvas that's 30cm x 40cm I'm quite fond of how it turned out, it has a nice grungy feel to it and the poëm finishes it all IMHO.




The second is a digital painting I've made with several copyright fee images in PSP. I like it! This will make a great transfer image.
