Every now and again I can get a photograph that I'm really happy with and this is one of those instances when the lighting, pose, choice of clothes, the shape of the chair all came together. A friend asked me to take some photos of her granddaughter and make them sepia toned. I also used Adobe (tutorial link at
TutorialWiz) and created the cutout image above. I just LOVE the cutout version and I'm thinking it would make a lovely little painting (on the back burner of course, have the doll show to work on).

I imagine the cutout image would be easier to paint than the original photo? This is fantastic timing - Exactly what I need! Thank you for posting the link to the tutorial - I am about to start a painting which I have been a little worried about, because part of it is from a photograph. This will make my task much easier (I think).
I thought of you undaunted when I found the tutorial. I couldn't figure out how to describe what I did. I learned just by working it out and still haven't got it down clearly.
thanks cyn, genxster, lone beader, hmbt and margaret. The granddaughter was over the moon with the photo's, especially the manipulated one's.
Love,
Sue
