Emma XXVI

OK not 100% nude, but I've put it here to avoid upsetting people in

the Digital Alterations category. As usual with my artwork I can

guarantee 110% that I did not use Photoshop. Cheers. Don

Hello Don, you have been busy with PhotoArtMaster pro. This is getting on for a good pen and ink wash. Possibly the shot needs a little more paper texture. I particularly liked Emma III.

 

I've been using PhotoArtMaster classic, but only on landscapes.

 

Best wishes. Peter

I have to admit that I am a bit of a purist. I like textures, borders and other techniques that transform photos, but which are created organically. I think there should be some integrity to the medium. Here, I feel that it is just a photo trying to be something else. I realize that it is fun to play with all these digital effects, but I wonder why not learn to draw if you want to do this? I am not trying to criticize you, but really ask this with all curiosity at hearing your opinion on this matter.
