Texture Tuesdays: to DO

Tuesday comes around rather quickly,
or perhaps it is because working with textures
is a learning challenge for me
and I spent perhaps a wee bit too much time on it.
but it is so fun.

There are many websites that feature working with textures on Photoshop, but truly the
favorite of many I love is presented by
Kim Klassen, her heartfelt sharing is larger than her computer monitor!!!

She is always dangling the proverbial "carrot" in front of my face and I want to do it ALLLLL  !!!

So today the theme is to the verb: DO....now is that broad enough?
So here are my two interpretations of DO-ing, using

  ORIGINAL OIL PAINTINGS







I am always learning.....and these two images have opposite problems: one is too dark and one too light.
I think that working on pieces of art work makes it difficult to know just how to texture.


Generally a painting becomes complete, with no further need to work on it. 
Adding a texture changes the dimension immensely.  But as I keep saying:
it is loads of fun and I will continue to experiment.

  1. Sharon, these paintings are wonderful! I know what you mean about spending the time. I think over time you get familiar with various darks and lights and what it takes to bring them to life under the texture.
    Love your work.
