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.
