Assignment #4 - Oil Painting
Assignment #4 - Oil Painting This is my last assignment for my Betterphoto painting class. We were assigned an oil painting. I started with a gouache layer (did not like), covered it with an oil pastel layer, blended, repainted with an oil brush layer, blended again, and added more details....

Take care…

The Ferry Building
The last of the night shots at least for now.
Night photography in the city is a lot of fun. I hear ya about the wide angle. My favorite lens is my 135mm prime. I am not very successful with most wide angle lenses but the fisheye is so different that it works for me.

Thank you! What a wonderful surprise. Those images were made when I was taking the BetterPhoto class to learn Corel Painter X. I think I will have to dust off Painter and start working on new images.
