Ambition
Click for larger size.
Since my ambition is to develop fluency in Corel Painter, this will be an exploration of different brush strokes, rather than doing a representational sketch. As a first step I created a palette from from another image that had colors I liked.
I layered the canvas with diagonal strokes using a wet impasto brush. I then created four circles and filled them with gradients. Then I used the Jeremy's Distorto Paint brush to stroke through the circles. This brush comes with the bonus CD in Jeremy Sutton's Painter IX Creativity: Digital Artists Handbook. The font used for the text is Spirit Medium. I had done several other brush layers before I decided to keep the impasto brush layer. Then I moved it into Photoshop and saved it for the web version.

Hi Lori, Great Idea and Great quote. I liked that you used the colors from another piece and limited the palette, I think that worked really well, and I like the explaination of what steps you took to make it. Very nice and very cool. Thanks and Best Regards, Jacque
