A view from your bedroom window

[Sweedie]

This is a view from my bedroom window. It is mid November, rainy and cold, winter is slowly coming. I am looking over in my neigbours garden where the crows are dancing in the upwinds above the roof.

Would you mind making an painting of your view from your bedroom window? That woud be a nice challenge, wouldn't it? So we could compare the seasons the landsacapes outside the window, the technique used and the different moods in our paintings...

How about it?

Oh, shoot I did a view from my bedroom window last fall, but I had not heard of ArtRage yet, and it was done in Painter Classic.
Didn't some of the ArtRage people create that program, also? Would that be enough to allow me to post it? :)
I really hate to do a painting over, as once a painting is done, I don't want to repeat it, as I don't have the same feelings anymore.
Oh well, guess I better not post.

A try to show a view...

Hello there Sweedie,
I love your painting. Is that really all ArtRage? There is so much detail to it. I have managed to do something similar to this in Corel painter using some of the clone brushes to help but this is excellent.

So glad I visited the forum and saw this. Don't know if you will notice my comments.

This is the view from my bedroom window, mid to late October, when the leaves have turned to yellow and are just starting to fall. I started a new one, but with all the power outages we had, I lost all except for the first start in chalk that I had saved.
After printing up the help manual. I decided to try out the Load tracing image, and Convert tracing image to paint, using my painting from the year before done in Painter Classic.
I did some touchups, but the painting looked faded in Artrage compared to the original. So I lay down some light paint on a new layer, blend set to colour burn (after a lot of experimenting) and this enriched the colour. On a new layer, I painted some moss on the big maple trunk, repainted the sky, and the birch tree, though I figured I should leave the blurry hazelnut tree leaves alone, as they had looked that shimmery in my memory.
The original was painted at my computer, without even once going to the bedroom to see what it actually looked like. Which seems kinda stupid, now that I think of it! :lol:
So in a sense it's kind of abstracted, as in actuality there are four big maples, not one, and even more cedar shrubs, along the top of the embankment.

This is the only portion of the new ArtRage version that I had saved, and I was almost finished it, when a power outage wiped it all out. Just couldn't bring myself to do it all over again. :)
Really liked your painting, Sweedie, in fact I admire all your work, and study it. :)
