Chinaman's Bluff5Value

This is the 5 value B&W of my Workshop2 painting "Chinaman's Bluff". It is a lot different than the 5 value study I did before my painting, because I changed my painting after the underpainting.

Comment by Stuart J. Gourlay on March 8, 2012 at 5:31: Sharon, I have Photoshop Elements v. 7.0. You can get Photoshop Elements for under $100 and it will do most of what you need. The full Photoshop is much more expensive. If you want a freebie to play with, download gimp from www.gimp.com. It has most of the tools you need, but will look a little different than Photoshop or Elements. I commented back on your blog for the large painting and sent you a 4value B&W from your painting. I find that doing it this way works real well. The guy who did the landscapes from photos, Johannes Vloothuis is also very big on 3 and 4 value studies to develop composition. His course "Painting Stunning Landscapes from Photographs" is a real tour de force if you want to kick up your landscapes. You can get it through his website www.improvemypaintings.com. Stu

Comment by Sharon Casavant on March 8, 2012 at 3:18: Stu, what software do you use to obtain this? B&W don't work. I think it is in photoshop, but don't know what version. I appreciate your responce, thanks! I think it will help me a lot.
