It's been years since I picked up a traditional paintbrush to create a how-to decorative arts painting project for a publisher, but as soon as I started this project I found it was just like riding a bicycle ...you just never forget! When first contacted by
The Pixelated Palette requesting a possible project contribution for their
September 2016 issue, I wasn't really sure what the final results would be since I've been living in my digital world for nearly two decades now. I must say that I was a bit surprised to find that the project went as smooth as silk and the finished project was an adorable, functional item that is already being put to good use. I'm so glad I was given the opportunity to work on this project, and even though I do not have plans to jump back into the commercial decorative painting market any time soon, I'm most definitely going to be giving my digital brushes a break every now and spending a little more time with my traditional paint brushes and DecoArt paints. Happy Painting and enjoy the project!
