This is from a local shoot and the mom was trying very hard to get the baby to smile and laugh but the baby was busy listening to her Dad eatting chips in the next room, Ha! This was my fav as she looks so contemplative. Painted in Corel Painter with Background and details painted in Photoshop.
Any comments appreciated, thanks!

Oops! I see the boo-boo in the bottom left corner, need to fix that!

Great work as always, Susi. Reminds me of a miniature version of one of the old Barnum & Bailey sad clown faces. Best wishes, -Art

Thanks Art, ya know, she does have that sad clown look, now that ya mention it!

Susi,

Excellent work as usual! I've done some paintings in PS and have considered learning Corel Painter, is it that much better for painting?

Thanks,
Tim

Tim, Thanks! Yes Corel Painter is aimed at replicating traditional painting and it does a great job. I still love Photoshop for details and preparing the photo before going into Painter. Many people paint wonderful art in Photoshop so it is nothing to sneeze at, but to really stretch your painting muscle Painter is needed IMHO.

great work susi she is so sad looking love that face. I wish I could get the hang of it like you have it .. just super

Thanks a bunch SLRphoto!!

You are truly an artist, thanks for letting me look at your work.

God bless
