Luna and the ball


After being inspired by the start of the Play Well Art Blog, I thought I'd keep practicing by creating this image of my dog, Luna. This image is an homage to her love of tennis balls and sunlight.




One Brush One Layer


I am addicted to layers in Photoshop... so this was an exercise to use only one brush and one layer for the entire painting. I never quite finished it, but my fear of merging layers is gone! Committing to each brush stroke was much less scary than I originally anticipated.
