When I’m 64

C J Lewis. Digital painting using a photograph of tree trunk as the inspiration for the subject matter and then I use PhotoPlus6 for air-brushing, colouring, smudging, painting, brightness/contrast & 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.

FEBRUARY 2009 FEATURED IN Art In Math group
