The ‘Nosey’ Parkers
© C J Lewis.
I used a photograph of a tree trunk from the Nature Characters Series series as the inspiration for the subject matter. PhotoPlus6 used for air-brushing, smudging, colouring & sizing. I use the mouse with the smudge tool to move the colours around and into the shapes desired as I don’t have a Wacom tablet.
IN APRIL 2009 THIS WAS A TOP 10 WINNER IN A CHALLENGE OF THE Painted Digitally group
The photograph of the tree trunk that gave me the inspiration for this painting appeared to me as two elderly people with rather large noses.
Part of the Nature Characters Series
