Thank you again for such warm compliments...Darlene! Thank you again for such warm compliments! I am admirer of your work too. I don't know if it is possible for you to suspend judgment and just enjoy seeing other people's work without diminishing your own. I find it difficult sometimes to engage with other people's work with curiosity only. But I think it is a useful kind practice that keeps the creativity flowing!Ruth Schowalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03106140875246572230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733812559283418635.post-40947019540815916162013-04-02T22:37:16.681-04:002013-04-02T22:37:16.681-04:00Thank you Ruth for the help with pens and where y...Thank you Ruth for the help with pens and where your vibrant colors come from...I am computer illiterate and already spend way too much time trying to figure out 'stuff' so do not want to tackle another medium now...but I so love your work and feel so inadequate after looking at the various artist work on your new FB page...but I am also inspired to do more and better.Darlene Sperberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10842207296309478132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733812559283418635.post-54575186456157660222013-04-02T19:25:54.354-04:002013-04-02T19:25:54.354-04:00Dear Darlene! Thank you so much for writing me her...Dear Darlene! Thank you so much for writing me here on my blog, where I welcome like minded souls! The artwork you see here on this particularly blog entry is photoshopped! I scan an image drawn in micron pens on white paper and then fill in color. After that I transform it in another part of photoshop, making it a cutout or posterized--something like that. <br /><br />I know what you mean about searching for that pen or paint that will give your work intensity. When I have watercolored something, I use micron pens to draw on top if the paint surface isn't too thick. Then I also use gouache and acrylics!<br /><br />Great questions. I have the same! Please visit again if you find any solutions and I will do the same!Ruth Schowalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03106140875246572230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733812559283418635.post-2528602182581674862013-04-02T10:37:00.180-04:002013-04-02T10:37:00.180-04:00Good morning Ruth,
