It is fabulous, but I don't understand the medium. Is it digital art or oils?

Posted by Helen Guy on Sat 11 Nov 22:20:26

Amazing Skylar. How have you done this. It is beautiful

Posted by Carolyn Parkinson on Sat 11 Nov 22:24:07

Helen - Thank you for commenting. I use a digital program (Artrage5) and tablet. the program can simulate all media from charcoal to Oil paints - My personal fave. Over time,I have just shortened it to "Artrage Oils" But, it is still only as good as the artist using it...I "paint " from scratch.

Carolyn - I explained most of the process above, answering Helen's inquiry. Thanks so much!

Jennifer - Thank you! I did use the zoom most of the time for the details, tho I feel it is quite "loose"

Great colours in the feathers and the eye is superb.

Posted by Sandra Kennedy on Sun 12 Nov 05:26:26

The softened background and the eye really make the feathers stand out. Great job.
