Tacoma Church

My wife and I were walking in our neighborhood in Tacoma, a small city in the northwestern section of the USA. There is a small neighborhood church, and I took a photograph of it. I used that photo as a source for this picture.

That's really nice Alan a beautifully drawn picture.What program did you use to draw it.?

Thanks Para,

I did the picture in Painter and the frame in Paintshop.

Lovely drawing Alan. Did you do all the work with a mouse?

nice one alan
I wheeled back my chair and looked at it from a distance of 6 foot or more [as you would with a painting] and on my high res screen it really looks great
well done

Thanks for all the nice comments, everyone.

Soquili,

I use a Wacom tablet, the small Intuos. A lot of what I drew I traced from the photo, and in a bitmap program like Painter, it's just not practical to draw with a mouse, in my opinion. I even use my Wacom in my Xara experiments.

Regards,

Alan

very good your work
I wish I could do the same

Thanks for your kind words, Germaine

altogether good.

good enough to hang in the dining room. (but i would lose the frame)

Naw, I glued it to the picture with Super Glue. You'd need an army of stout ruffians to pry it loose! :D :D

Loved the Church Alan - Thanks for Sharing! Tom

Thought as Much Alan on the Painter front. :D

Nice example of wash and Line art

Really well done. Lovely art.

Thanks to all for your kind comments. In case anyone is interested, here is the original photo I used for the picture. Bear in mind I compressed it quite a bit for uploading purposes.

Regards,

Alan
