Painterly Play – with Cardinals

These days my garden is filled with these lovely Red Emissaries,  they grace the trees and feeders, six pairs by all accounts and of course, the boys are prettier than the girls….

The straight out of the camera shot is quite lovely…. but as one of the new tutorials for our Pacific Grove Workshop in February, I have rendered my pretty bird in Photoshop… using some of the textures from our store….and using a few other tips and tricks that will be revealed to our Students!
