First painting from the Oz trip in December. Done in Painter using wet oils and turps brushes. Hopefully now that I've fed my Painting Beast, I can get on with some writing tonight.

Playing around
This is not the final version; but I did have fun with it.
The skull and hat were done in painter with the chalk brush, overlayed with daubs of watercolour wash in purples and greens. The kiss was lipstick print I photographed, imported, and used the painter burn tool and flame effect on.
Background is the pastel tool with a very low opacity, and then the lighting effect played over it.

Die Laughing Cover
This is one of my favourites so far. Image manipulation from a photo I took. Painter really does ring all my bells - my only gripe would be the text editing, which I need to do in Coreldraw to get the effects I want.
The photo itself was pretty much a case of being in the right place at the right time. I knew as soon as I took it that the old cover I'd planned (and pretty much completed) was being replaced.
Then it was a case of playing with colour values and saturation fields. Sometimes the best stuff just falls into your lap.
