I tried to challenge myself a bit more today, layering a few different techniques. The finished piece is close to what I had in mind, so I accept that as a well-learned curve. What grandma doesn't like working with photos of the kiddos?
Feeling much better and waiting for some photo/art enthusiasm to kick in and percolate!
@louannwarren How funny that you said it that way... I see the opposite! California boys with an air of self confidence, and "the country cousins" who came to visit! Always fun to watch the interactions! @lyndemc Thanks, Denise! Don't know if my daughters will like this or not...sometimes they just like pictures straightforward...but they realize I'm not good at that! ha! @pandorasecho Dixie, I know how we both like to embellish our work a bit. I had to stop myself from adding anything more at this time! Relaxing fun, isn't it?!
@maggiemae thanks so much! It's a photo shop action called Quick Sketch... Select your central subject, and when it finishes,go down the list and make your choice of changes. I went on to work with several layers before finishing it! What I like about Actions is that you can make it completely your own. I've purchased quite a few and love using them!
