Playing with painting effects
This was not a very good photo of our friend’s mini jack, but it made a great looking virtually painted image. Oh how I wish I could really paint on canvas! I tried it years ago and managed to complete a few landscapes, but as I learned back then, most anyone can paint if you have a talented artist for your teacher. You just mimic what she is doing and hope for the best. Painting animals or people is another ballgame if you don’t have a natural ability. My Paint Shop Pro version X gives the illusion of having an artist’s hand and you don’t have to smell the paints! What a deal!
