Still Life with vase

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.

This piece was nominated into the Pay It Forward group by the wonderful Melanie Dooley. This is what she had to say about it:

When I first joined RB I saw this image and bought a canvas of it – it hangs on my dining room wall.
I was very inspired by the colours, composition and textures. I know the artist is proud of this image – as she should be. It embodies everything I aspire to as a beginner/hobby digital artist.

You are way too kind, Melanie… Thank you.

    Wow, so nice! I love it. Well done. How did you get the texture of scratches on it? Is that a photoshop thingy? Im trying to learn how to add those kind of effects to my photos…

  • Cadence Gamache replied

    Thanks! Yes, it’s a brush I used in Photoshop :)

  • Paola Jofre

    Congratulations!!! well deserved , beautiful piece of art!! Love the texture and tones!!

  • Anita Schep

    Anita Schep

    Which brush? do tell… im a photoshop ignoramus! Which menu…? or are you keeping it a secret? :)

  • Cadence Gamache replied

    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 Gamache replied

    Or you can download them from the internet, of course :)
