Fun With Painting

My recording/graphics computer has been down for the past week...the power supply exploded when I was at Jan Kay ranch. I've been trying to fix it the cheap (free) way..my uncle gave me several of his spare power supply units to see if any of them would work. They didn't. I finally went and bought one from Fry's tonight, so now my PC is back in action.

A few weeks ago I bought a program called Paintshop Pro 9...I love it. The painting components are awesome..you can literally paint oil, watercolor, etc. paintings freehand. It also includes different inking methods and even a palette on which you can mix your paint colors (you use a knife tool that actually behaves and smears like a knife does).

Apart from the painting components of the program, it is very capable of editing the images you make. Lots of image manipulation, lighting and coloring effects, and texture editing are all available to utilize.

I may be describing every new graphics program in the world. Due to my computer-naïveness, I'm not entirely up to date on new stuff. Paintshop Pro, however, really seems to stand apart from lots of other programs I've used. It combines its paiting ability, image editing, and vector layouts to make a pretty sweet and easy to use Image Composer. Props.

I spent the past hour creating a new background for my PC...it's rather basic, and it's only for the 1024x768 resolution setting, but I had fun making it as I strive to learn more about Paintshop. Feel free to take a look at it HERE

In the words of Bob Ross,
Until next time, Happy Paintings and God bless.
God rest his soul.
