Playing with Paintshop

Playing around with Corel's Paintshop.  The picture is of a painting I did last month.  I paintshopped it with a bubbles background, and love the results.  I might use this image to make notecards.  What do you think?

More on "Cindy's Great Paper Experiment".



The paper I made yesterday has dried, and I ruined the first sheet with watercolors.  It was a little like painting on papertowels...absorbant extraordinarily.  Maybe I should market my paper as a kitchen spills cleaner upper.  SO, onto the second sheet. . . I've sketched a bird and blossoms, and then painted the outside perimeter with liquid spray starch, which of course migrated into the drawing.  That shouldn't be a problem, though, as the starch is drying clear, and will hold paint, I think, just fine.

Til next time,
Cindy
