Here is the second part of my third assignment for my online Corel Painter class. It is an impasto painting. For this one, I painted it once and then re-cloned and painted it again. That ’smeared’ it up where I was happier with the look. Next, I blended the original image with Pin Light. That popped the rain droplets. Finally, I did some fiddling in Photoshop with the colors. Whew! I can go to bed now.
Here is the original…

This is a chalk painting. Spent a lot of time trying to balance detail with masses of color.

After slogging back toward my car, I had a plastic bag over my camera trying to keep the rain out. I found the real trail leading through a meadow. So, I figured why not just shoot through the plastic bag? I wanted the stormy feel to translate. Here is the result.

This week, I went away for a few days to Pt Reyes to relax. The first few days involved a lot of napping. Feeling rested, I ventured out for some shooting. As you can see from the shot, there was rain. I was soaked and miserable plus I missed the trail marker and wandered into the horse camp. I did not attempt any photos because everybody looked as unhappy as I felt. I did take this infrared shot of the weeds next to the pasture area. As I was giving up and returning to the car, a few ladies huddled under a canopy said "Are you here to take portraits of miserable people?". Nope, just trying to make art.
