I am back to my old printer while I look at other options. <BR/><BR/>I've tried painting in Photoshop and I don't know if I have the patience to learn to use it well enough to get the results I want. Others probably could! I don't mind mixing hi-tech and low-tech methods together; it gives my eyes a break from the screen. And, call me old-fashioned, I like the dipping and dabbling in real paint and water!Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052488335133029707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2303151140016717831.post-30653645123964521852009-03-25T09:54:00.000-07:002009-03-25T09:54:00.000-07:00This is a beautiful composition. The colour detail...This is a beautiful composition. The colour details bring out the scene even better (with the moon looking into Shakespeare's Globe Theatre).<BR/>I wonder when you print onto watercolour paper if there is a special process to prevent the ink from running when you apply watercolour paints? Another question would be: why not paint it all in Photoshop?Michael Lukyniukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14027697373573737570noreply@blogger.com
