Thanks for the feedback.
In regard to pain...Hi LG,<br /><br />Thanks for the feedback.<br />In regard to painting hair, there are a lot of similarities to the crazy mass of leaves on a large tree as there are with hair. I usually use a larger brush to get the general light and dark side of the tree foliage shape and then hint at the complexity with lost and found edges and a few areas of contrast with leaf clusters - catching light. <br />Hope that helps a bit.<br /><br />-ErikE.Tiemenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352421860026525045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31838213.post-64387202383421382692012-07-31T13:34:24.048-07:002012-07-31T13:34:24.048-07:00Erik , brilliant work again, i have one question, ...Erik , brilliant work again, i have one question, while painting the tree foliage do you use the same method of hair? Meaning big shapes to establish the form and then adding little leaves here and there?

And photoshop for me is more for the actual carefully mastered process of painting (I used to work in acrylics, layer by layer much more than oil wet into wet so it might be an explanation).<br />I wanted to share this link <br />http://misterbirdstools.bigcartel.com/<br />Sorry for the advertisement, but theese tools and brushes for photoshop have really helped me use the software in a very natural and free way. So it could be helping other people. (and no, I don't take any commission or anything, just found it cool to find a guy that solves some of my daily problems )Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08433820601481613587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31838213.post-17436511108761285052012-07-25T11:53:50.964-07:002012-07-25T11:53:50.964-07:00Thanks Alexander!

Hope you can make it to the workshop in October.<br /><br />Thomas: great question in regard to Painter and Photoshop, I mostly use Painter, but also do my final color, value adjustments in Photoshop. I find the adjustment layers very helpful and larger custom brushes seem to be much more stable in PS. I do love the artistic quality of Painter though and the blending is excellent as well as the go to brushes.
