Frances's art brush explorations

[angelize]

I've been exploring the art brushes some more and I thought I thought I'd post some of my images in this thread.

this first one is a rhododendron flower first I created some repeating art bushes for painting textures on to a single petal then added some shading with the shape painter. clipped the petal all together then made a proportional art brush from that petal then I painted 5 petals bending the path differently for each one.

That's quite impressive and pretty.

Thanks Boy.

Here is the rough sketch of a rose that I used as a demo piece for the Line art brushes I posted in the brushes gallery.

Good creative use, Frances!

That makes a very effective flower, Frances.

Very inspirating technique

Thanks Ron, Gray and csehz.

That is awesome "Angel Eyes"
​You've really got those creative juices flowing!

That's really neat Frances. I hope one day I will get an understanding of them like you do.

Here is an image I did just playing around with using a brush with a linear transparency to brush on shading in the folds of the scarf and toque (knit cap for those not familiar with the Canadian term ) A few quick strokes with a "bullet" brush (from the line art brushes donated to the brushes forum) were all that I used to create a brush that I used for the fringe of the scarf and the pom on the toque.
