“Study nature. Exaggerate light; overstate — the less inhibited you are, the better.” Sergei Bongart
Here’s another old project… This goes back to when I was learning about vector graphics in Illustrator. It was inspired by this Tuts+ tutorial. Revisiting the image for today’s post, I thought it looked much too ‘clean’ and so I added a little extra texture in Photoshop.
Finished, freshly varnished and now for sale sold. Click here if you missed the original post about this painting.
I’ve listed a couple of other paintings ― two I’m rather fond of that I painted last year. Both are available via Etsy or directly from me.
Yes, another phone-photo has received the Photoshop treatment. I really like the reflections in the wet sand. So far, so good…

The first image was created by following a tutorial on Tuts+ (the design is based on street artist Shepard Fairey’s Obama campaign posters). The second image was a mistake* I made when messing around with layers in Illustrator.

My thanks to Sergio Fox, a.k.a. Optimistic Kid, for the quote.
The really long title is also a haiku. I’m thinking it may be the first of a series of mini canvas + haiku combinations.
The painting is based on another phone-camera image edited in Photoshop. Good old Photoshop!
