Romantic Portrait

Painted in Corel Painter .

[Tyeise]

That's really nice. It's so soft, and looks so much like a colored sketch, not a photoart.

[phyllis stewart]

Flo, I lovvve the look you got on this new one, as well as the older one from two weeks ago. I agree with Tye on the colored pencil look, and with the added tweaking, it's overall terrifc!

Red Head

Beware of the Red Haired Girl .
She will haunt you , day in , day out .
Ambivalent and polymorphous , she is .
At night time she will appear in the guise of Hebe ,
whereas at the peak of dawn she will arise as Hecate .

DAP , my custom AOP’s .
PS , many layers , manual brushing , various tweaks .
