Thank you for creating this tutorial and I learn a lot from your great works. I especially like the Pen and Ink Watercolour; Dubrovnik, Croatia. Please continue to extend this tutorial so that viewers can benefit from your creative techniques. Thanks.

Really enjoy your tutorials. I teach PS at local college and your tutorials are easy
to pass on and easy to teach to others. Keep them coming.

While I am a VERY strong believer that everyone is entitled to thier own opinion, which is why I am leaving your comment up, I am a bit confused.
In times past many forms of what is considered art were not accepted as such. You mentioned one yourself, photography.
Also, there is absolutely NOTHING in my galleries that insult the human being. Which is far more than I can say for many of the STRICTLY photo galleries you can find in PBase.
Whether you enjoyed the gallery or not, I appreciate you taking the time to browse and to comment.

Photoshop is not an art. It is kitsch.
Make photo, or make water color picture. Do not make "photoshops", it humiliates the human being.

This is amazing. I am very impressed by your Photoshop work. This gallery (and all your other galleries rock). I really like what you do with photos. I am a photographer and do mostly realistic work, but this is a very beautiful "art" you've produced. Thank you for posting the tutorial "HOW TO"s as I can learn a lot from you.

Rafal,
That is a compliment that means a lot to me. It is sometimes hard to gain acceptance with this type of art...thank you very much!
Rafal Kaminski 02-Aug-2004 01:15
Hey, you have some great works here and in your other galleries. I must say I am really impressed. This is the first gallery of PS modified pictures that I like. People usually apply one or two filters and call it creative. Well done!

Judy,
It always makes me feel good when someone drops by and appreciates my work.
Reading this has just made my day!
Michael Goricki 28-Jul-2004 14:10
Jean,
Thank you. I think you will be able to master this pretty fast. I tried to keep them as straight forward as I ca.
Please let me know if you decide to show anything you do.
Judy 27-Jul-2004 04:39
You have an amazing mastery of Photoshop. Love the photo --> watercolor of the abandoned truck. Great job!

The PS7 Pen and Ink Watercolor especially appeals to me! It is terrific that you share your artistic techniques. Somehow, I think it will take a bit of work before I'm up to your level of creation. Thanks so much. - Jean Ricket

Thanks Kimberly,
I will be getting more up here soon so everyone can jump on in!!

I will be keeping them to techniques you can use without downloading extra brush's, filters or backgrounds so that people don't have to mess around trying to figure out how to install them :-)
