Digital Painting - Painter 8 - Grandson

The image shown today is a digital painting that I painted in Painter 8 from a photograph I took the other day when visiting.

I used a Bristle brush for the bulk of the painting and a second layer set at Gel for the background. I used Digital Watercolor brushes for the background. And merged the layers saving to a jpg file for display here on the web.

I brought the file into PhotoPaint to apply Filter Forge's frames a watercolor frame. I added a black border of 10 pixels. I resampled the file from the larger working file while in PhotoPaint also.
