Been using Xara for over 10 years in it's many iterations but only ever really for commerical work but I thought I'd have a go a art with it - painting portraits ... my first work is totally ego-tistical and is a self portrait. I was surprised when I sat down and thought about different techniques of what you can actually get out of Xara when doing a painting project.
