Water Painting


      The assignment was to paint water. I chose a photo of Blue Spring, a natural manatee refuge, as my inspiration and attempted to recreate it in chalk and various blenders in Painter.

My version done in chalks, artist Seurat, Impressionist, and round blender brushes

second version

More color, more blending, more je ne sais quoi.

3rd version

The third version used elements of the first two efforts, plus some new vegetation that I have never seen in nature. I created a brush variation from Den's Oil Splatter Brush for filling in.
