"Black Haired Beauty Woman Portrait" Canon, Corel Painter

Black Haired Beauty

I had time today for digital painting of the last of the three women Pencil, Freehand Drawings. I opened my Canon MP495 scan of the last one in Corel Painter 11. I wanted to keep the image cleaner and simpler. I selected various Liquid Ink Brushes to outline and paint this image. I used the Fine Point, and Camel Ink brushes. I varied the sizes as appropriate. I outlined the Woman in Yellow to brighten the painting, after giving her Raven Black Hair. I chose two Blue hues for her dress.

After I saved the large iteration I opened with Corel PhotoPaint and added my signature. Then I saved and reopened in Corel PSP Pro X3 to add a Border and a Ice Matte. It was here I added a Title, Artist, and Copyright information with Image Information. I saved the large image. Then I resized and saved for display here.

I was contacted by an old friend, Jerry Sprague, who's band is going to perform at the Ann Arbor, Michigan "The Ark". The concert will be January 21, 2014  http://theark.org/3772.html.

They are also having a Kickstarter campaign to fund their new CD:
