I am interested in how your new drawing tablet works out. As for doing portraits in Photoshop, there are some marvelous teachers at the <a href="http://www.digitalartacademy.com/Moodle/" rel="nofollow">Digital Art Academy</a> who teach various processes. <a href="http://www.photoworkshop.com/lawson" rel="nofollow">Susi Lawson has DVD's for portraits</a> using PS. There are others I'm just not thinking of at the moment. As for drawing -- I'm starting a class taught by <a href="http://www.digitalartacademy.com/Moodle/course/category.php?id=61" rel="nofollow">Tim Shelbourne at DAA on drawing</a>. I take as many classes as I can fit in to my days... always something fun to learn. :) I'm so glad you found this post -- and thank you for stopping by. Hi Christopher.

I’m so glad you found this post — and thank you for stopping by.

I did announce them on twitter. I've tried to do some portraits using tools I'm used to in Photoshop. They look quite different, but I like them. I finally got a "cheap" drawing tablet. It was about 1000 pesos and wasn't wacom but it is 6x8 work area, Acteck brand. The wacom was about 2500 pesos which is just outrageous. Now I just need to remember how to draw :-) <abbr><em>Christopher’s last blog post..<a href="http://visualartgifts.com/blog/i-miss-you-grandpa-remembering-grandpa-christy/" rel="nofollow">I Miss You Grandpa - Remembering Grandpa Christy</a></abbr></em> Thank you!

Having a tablet makes the process much easier, but I have seen work produced with a mouse that blows me away. I just prefer the feel of real media, so the pen -- brush -- and Wacom work best for me. I'll watch for your painted flowers -- hoping you'll announce on Twitter. :) Thank you Christopher.

I wouldn't have one if it were not for your class at LVS. Thank you. Ms. <strong>Quirky Artist</strong>, I think it's fun to take classes for the techniques and then do our own paintings -- or collage or collographs, etc -- from the images inside our heads. I love painting faces, but I am always open for new ways to say what I feel about them. I've never tried an acrylic portrait, but I have painted cartoon kids with acrylics on wall murals -- and the mixing and blending are the same as on canvas and/or Painter canvas. I'm sure your portrait-painting students learned a great deal from you about how to use this medium for their purposes. Having just come from your blog, I'd love to try doing one using the printing method in your collograph post. Cool! Thank you <strong>Pam</strong>. I look forward to seeing more of your work at Painter Talk, now that we've finished this session of Open Studio at DAA. You're a wonderful painter... Hope Ralphie didn't mind your reading along the walk. :) Thank you so much, Susie.
