This is a digital watercolor painting. Starting with a photo, I've used the techniques described in the last two tutorials I've posted, but then went a few steps further, laying washes of color and blending them in. Hope you enjoy. This is a scene near my home in Smithfield, Utah.

I hope everyone took a look at the original. What a contrast. What a rebirth of a photo. It's a total turnaround. I like the pastel colors. Everthing works and goes together. Well done.

I think this artwork of yours is very creative. I love it. At first I thought it was a picture (a very beautiful one) and then I got it. Great work.
Just one thing about your name; it remindes me of Nathan Rahl, a fictional charactor in Goodkind's fantacy books. You should try designing his cover pictures!!!! just a suggestion ;)
