Still Life with vase
Something besides portraiture for a change!
This piece won the College Foundation Purchase Award in the student art show I entered last April. It was my first ever entry into an art show, and I was shocked and elated that I actually won something. Needless to say, I am very proud of this image.

Cadence in reply to Anita Schep’s comment, 3 months ago
Thanks! Yes, it’s a brush I used in Photoshop :)
Anita Schep, 3 months ago
Which brush? do tell… im a photoshop ignoramus! Which menu…? or are you keeping it a secret? :)
Cadence in reply to Anita Schep’s comment, 3 months ago
You can make them. You can scan in scratched, dirty glass or marked up carbon/graphite paper and then increase the contrast and then just go to ‘define brush’ and you will have it as a stamp in the bottom of your brush drop down menu :) You can make brushes out of anything… I’ve made them for bugs and hair, too. And crumpled paper.
Cadence in reply to Anita Schep’s comment, 3 months ago
Or you can download them from the internet, of course :)
