I lack the skillset to create realistic and fine art so I find abstract and impression art to be more fitting. With abstract art, I can cover mistakes and make them appear to have been done on purpose. Most importantly for my style, I can leave much to the imagination so fit and form can be more interpretive than deliberate.

I've used a graphic tablet to create pieces of work and to edit images. The graphic tablet with the display has been a game changer for me as I can draw and paint directly on what I am looking at and see it on the computer monitor at the same time.

There is an abundance of digital brushes available to fit any emulation of media, shape, opacity, textures, and on and on to meet one's desire. I used a combination of them in this piece. The choice of colors also appears to be endless which makes picking complimentary and contrasting colors easy for they appear on the color wheel.

Each day brings new experiences and the practice helps build muscle memory and hand and eye coordination. Although these works are not photo manipulation, I do enjoy making and sharing them with those that may have an interest in viewing them.

Now that I like a lot, great art. Worthy of printing hanging on my "By Others" group.

Will use my new Canon "Image-Quality" laser and put it to the test and/or print with my inkjet on high-textured watercolor paper.

Thanks for stopping by and for the reply. There are no hard rules when creating abstract work aside from using colors that work in harmony to create the illusion of light and shadows for the eye to put together.

Thanks, Dpullum. It's a play of colors that creates the illusion of a shape we can recognize as our brains are wired to identify faces. A few quick loose lines add a finishing touch.

Nicely done. I guess you guys are trying to push me into trying that. I ain't biting yet, though.

Kpmac, you are a man of many talents including photography, biology, drones, and music, among your many other life experiences. Graphic art will provide a venue where you can enjoy the comfort of your indoors on those hot humid swamp-like days while sipping on a cool sweet tea.

This is very good, Sippy! I'm impressed!! - shows good color knowledge and perspective, too. Very reminiscent of one of my art professors back in the early '70's whose work I admired. Well Done!!
