I did this a while ago. I was experimenting with the texture tools to try and mimic watercolour with a textured paper effect. It likely doesn't belong on the advanced board, but I hope it gives some of you some ideas.

It's beautiful! And it does look like watercolor.

hmmm..I missed this! wow, you really did do a great job recreating watercolor. It's lovely, like a cove of a larger lake. Quite familiar looking! :)

Thank you, all. I've never really tried using watercolour to paint with and to be honest, it never really appealed to me. Lately, however, Ive gained an interest in it and have been studying various techniques on the web. I hope to give it a try in the near future. I made this scene up but there are many places like this in the area where I live. I suppose it's time I start taking advantage of it. It'd be a good excuse to just sit by a lake, anyway.

Have you been taking advantage of it yet? :)

Way back in the mid 60's, I lived in Los Angeles, and I was fortunate enough to be given tickets to go to "The Hollywood Bowl" to see Peter, Paul, and Mary live in concert. It was an awesome concert.....they are great folk singers. One of my fave songs of theirs is "Puff the magic Dragon".

Suntan (May 3, 2010)

I have a ball pein. Is this one a shoemaker's hammer?

Yes, I thought volcano, too. I lived in Portland when Mt. Saint Helen's blew so I remember what it looks like from that time. I don't have a TV so haven't seen any images of the Icelandic eruption. Glassy-skied is right...all that silica floating around. It killed my '67 Volkswagen. You would find it in everything for months and months afterward. Nasty stuff but interesting to look at.

Suntan (May 20, 2010)

Interesting work you do, itchy. I can see volcano, but my first thought was raw wool. Great work. :)

or maybe 'TheShadow' from Inkheart. though it was blacker.. silica not too good for jet engines either... i imagine wool has silica content.....thnx l,d,t,s i'll have to do a proper referenced one now :)

firecracker (May 20, 2010)

This is really cool.....I have to agree with suntan.....it makes me think of raw wool also.....:)
