As you can see from my Gallery I enjoy printing pictures and trying to continue them with pastels. I will call the result: example by you by Hermione75 and link back to your pic. I also will leave a note asking if it's o.k. if it's not it will be removed as fast as I can point and click with my apologies for immaturity- since I didn't ask you first. I don't use all the pic's in this file, sometimes I change my mind and sometimes, or on second thought I realize that I can't do you pic justices. SO PLEASE TELL ME IF YOU APPROVE! I will leave this note: I hope you don't mind my presumption, I use this pic, if you mind: a. I apologize b. will remove the pic as soon as I can point and click (i.e. this is a temp posting pending your approval(. (I am also sorry if I asked you before and forgot about it….) c. I will not turn this into a print unless you ask me to. @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ How do I do it? a. I use www.gimp.org --GIMP (some times add Picnik part of Picasa) +picaasa 3.5 on the pic to make it look a bit more like an oil painting b. I print out the pic and paste it on thick paper c. using a pencil out line and pastel crayons I fill out the pic d. I use my Canon to uplode the pic to my computer and use www.gimp.org --GIMP and picaasa 3.5.
