Before moving to where I am now, I got a wild idea to take a painting class and started with watercolors. It's not an easy medium by any means...but I was thoroughly enjoying it when we had to move. I was able to finish one that I really love and it's been years since I picked up that brush and paper. I've been thinking about it lately and you have inspired me to go ahead and give it another try. I enjoyed seeing the inspiration behind your photos, thank you for sharing yourself with us here today! xoKim Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16765296400379609580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-51770751373550766752013-09-25T13:02:10.495-07:002013-09-25T13:02:10.495-07:00That last comment was from me. :)That last comment was from me. :)heyjudephotographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098165048025314116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7068408751309289035.post-32581407437518458502013-09-25T13:00:35.136-07:002013-09-25T13:00:35.136-07:00Christina it is a joy to have you here with us tod...Christina it is a joy to have you here with us today.

A friend does photoshop work in a unique way. She uses some of the painterly filters in her encaustics. She took painting classes in order to see what the brushstroke s looked like in various mediums, and that helped her create more realistic strokes in the ps portions of her art. I am also always encouraged by my photography teacher to take painting classes because they inform a photographer's understanding of light. Thanks for a wonderful post! And now I am off to your website!
