Phyllis, I just discovered your wonderful galleries and love your artful renditions. This is the kind of work I would love to be able to produce myself. The Lion is one of my favorites and the technique just brings out a warmth and adds depth and a special quality to an already high quality image. I will go through all your pix and perhaps learn more about this art technique. Thanks for sharing Kenny
Thank you. It's done with smudge painting in Photoshop, among other steps. We have some tutes on smudge painting and lots of discussion and advice about it on my site at http://www.innographx.com/forum . In the Photo Art thread called King Kitty there is a better version by one of our members that will blow you away.
