Vows
Poverty, Chastity and Obedience…Those are the vows that nuns take.

After I finished painting by hand with acrylic using the mouse,
I applied a metal filter for my own personal preference.

/ May 24, 2013Beautiful work, Deb, and I like your preference better, too; it seems warmer…sending many hugs for a wonderful weekend! xoxo
Deb
/ May 24, 2013I looked to me that it gave it an aged look, which I liked….thanks Lauren!
Have a nice weekend! 🙂
Love and hugs xxx

/ May 24, 2013Fantastic, Deb! I love the light coming in through the window and the highlighting in general, the metal filter adds to it, but the painting is incredible all on it’s own 😉
Deb
/ May 24, 2013Thank you, Scott! That means a lot to me coming from you! 🙂

/ May 24, 2013you’ve fully captured the serenity of the Nun and the starkness of the cloisters, Deb, I enjoyed the chance to see the before and after view, … and both stand out on their own merits… you are amazing and talented, lovely friend… hugs aplenty… and a wonder-filled weekend wish to you… xPenx
Deb
/ May 24, 2013Thank you Pen, I wanted to show the before the filter since I wasn’t quite sure just how many would understand the effect the metal filter gave to it without seeing it before I had done so…and also for my own references.
Have a lovely weekend!
Love and hugs, my friend! xxx

/ May 24, 2013Lovely…
Deb

Nuno
/ May 24, 2013Both seem different paintings. The filter adds depth.
Deb
/ May 25, 2013Thank you, Nuno! 🙂

Binky
/ May 24, 2013It’s a nice painting to begin with, but that filter does add a nice effect to it.
I have no idea how you can paint anything like this with a mouse!
Deb
/ May 25, 2013I liked the metal filter effect too. But it’s good to know that it looks good if I don’t as well!…Thank you, Binky!
How can it be possible that you don’t know? I bet Peter can show you. 🙂
Binky
/ May 25, 2013No, he uses an old, small Wacom tablet. And couldn’t live without it! Drawing with a mouse is impossible!
Deb
/ May 26, 2013I just read what those are… how nice!!
I have to use a mouse at this time and have been all along with all my digital art. Sort of time consuming, and some take a while to do.
Binky
/ May 26, 2013That Peter guy told me he can’t draw at all with a mouse. There are some alternative tablets out there that are reasonably priced. You should really give one a try some day. You would be amazed at the difference.
Deb
/ May 26, 2013I certainly would like to have one some day. I bet they’d save me a lot of time, or give me more time to do more.
Wendell A. Brown
/ May 25, 2013So beautifully done DEB, your spirit shines through brightly, and yet I always love what you share…another lovely gem! Blessings and hugs dear sister! Have a wonderful weekend!
Deb
/ May 25, 2013Thank you, Wendell!
Blessing and hugs to you too…Have a nice weekend!

/ May 25, 2013I think you were right to choose the metal filter, even though I liked the original too, this filter is closer to the vows… Happy weekend, Deb!
🙂 xxxxx
Deb
/ May 25, 2013I liked the filter too, Marina…thank you!
Have a great weekend! 🙂

Gray Dawster

to anything and this proves it my great friend 🙂 🙂
Have a very nice rest of evening with a hint of
wrestling and lots of delicious treats 🙂 🙂
Andro xxxx
Deb
/ May 26, 2013With this one and all my digital art up to this date would be turning the the mouse with my hand…lol. I paint them on my lap top. 😉 🙂 Thank you so much, Andro…you are always so kind. 🙂
Thank you…It was a pretty good show. 🙂

Gray Dawster
/ May 26, 2013Yes and whether digital mastering on your lap top or brush working at the easel you do a fine job all round Deb 🙂 I am pleased that you had fun watching the wrestling 🙂 Now sit back, have a cup of coffee and a nice biscuit or three 🙂 Chocolate ones of course 😉
Andro xxxx
Deb
/ May 26, 2013Aw, thanks Andro. I just didn’t want you to think it was a painting on an easel…Just wanted to be sure.
I’m drinking coffee now. 😉 🙂

Gray Dawster
/ May 26, 2013Pour me a cup or even a mug full of your coffee Deb, I don’t mind what I drink it out of if we are dunking our chocolate biscuits in, oh I forgot I’m not eating those at the moment 😦 Boo hoo lol

/ May 27, 2013Metal filter was definitely the way to go
Deb

Deb
/ May 27, 2013Thank you, Cha!
spilledinkguy
/ May 27, 2013This is fantastic work, Deb…
there’s something so calm and peaceful about the light…
and I really like your composition, too… how the line of the floor/wall leads your eye along her path…
really, really nice!
P.S. I thought I was the only one who was still using a mouse! I can appreciate all the pushing and dragging that went into these!
🙂
Deb
/ May 27, 2013So glad to hear you like it, Sig! That mean a lot to me coming from an artist like you!
And thank you also for appreciating how it’s done. Now I know your arm, and shoulder feel like they’re going to fall of too, not mention the hand numbing we get…lol …Ha, I’m not alone in my agony. 😉 🙂

spilledinkguy
/ May 27, 2013Hahaha… absolutely! I haven’t done much digital painting (although I’d like to try it at some point). Well, that’s not really true, I guess… I did a few things a million years ago when I was doing my webcomic. And I use the mouse all the time to do Illustrator stuff… it would definitely be fun to try a tablet at some point… I can imagine it would be a lot of fun (and a big help a lot of times, too)!
🙂
Deb
/ May 27, 2013I new you’d understand…lol
If you have something like photo shop or a tablet to use, I would even bother with doing in with a mouse. It’s very time consuming….Come on, it took me three days to do this and I mean all day into the evenings. Okay, two and half days and all of this morning….still though.
Deb
/ May 27, 2013Opps, my bad when I said how long. I thought we were both on my mother painting still. This one didn’t take all that much time. 🙂
shreejacob
/ May 30, 2013Oo Deb! I actually loved the one without the filter! But both are beautifully done 🙂
