Firstly, I am sitting down for my second break with a hot cuppa and checking Steemit. Outside the rain is pounding the windows and the sea is frothy and tipped in white. The sky is grey and my afternoon 'gardening' treat has been potting up some dahlias and other plants and messing about with more seeds and such getting ready for the Summer garden.
We had two days of sun and warmth and today it is a joy to have cooler rain as it really is a great boon to fussing about indoors sketching and playing
Now second, OH what a wonderful result your hours of work have been! Don't you love painter?! This little guy is adorable and very well coloured and your use of highlights creating light is superb! Lovely. I like the smokey bit, was that ink? Watercolour? I'm bad with my painter as I just use it like a paint box and mostly use watercolour, oil, pastel, ink and pencil and that's it I know there are many great cool other features , but haven't delved into them yet.
Flip flops in April?! You must not live in coastal New England :)
April is usually very moody here...so little sun and lots of rain. We had a work day yesterday. Basiclly half the school is activated in some spring cleaning outdoors. We cut branches, colored fences, preped our garden, etc etc...I got sunburned lol. I think that says it all. We have over 80F.
Look under Particles brushes. I dont remember which exactly it was....i suggest u try em all, cuz I loved em today lol. I am exactly the same... I use 3 brushes for more or less everything. But i wanted a background for this and not just a flat surface.....and I never make backgrounds...so it a very weak area for me....ended up looking through 90% of brushes. So this was an "accident" but loved how it looked at the end.
And yes, must say the more I use Corel the more I love it.
