excitement of overlapping transparent color gradients - and keeping work stimulating

Scribble 5 - transparent pattern Scribble 6 - gradient fill/overlap

I took the time to do these screen shots - they show the tools and palette as well as the basics with this freehand tool and gradients I use in digital painting.

I think what I wanted to convey is some of the excitement I feel by creating with this medium. If you look at the large version of the scribble on right - you see the different shades of color in the overlap.

When I figured out I could paint with transparencies and gradient transparencies to boot - I went wild.

It is a great thing to be excited by one’s own work - whatever the work. Something which is stimulating and provokes one to learn - there is no substitute for.
