Redone as the original had gradient fills.

2 birds

I didn't realise you were not allowed to use a gradient fill, so all gradient fills have been taken out. Have also included how i drew the bird as that was asked for by the mod. Its not the same one as it was drawn freehand on a tablet. The sbs still has the gradients, didnt want to do those again.

Rose bud

My first real attempt with painter 11. Just used standard wet acrylic brushes. All done in a single layer. Would work so much and then duplicate and work the new layer (so could go back if i made a really big mistake), repeated until finished.

Would the real KIWI please sta

Being a Kiwi, thought i had better get the record straight. :-). A kiwi is a nocturnal, flightless bird. Or a kiwi is a new Zealander like me. What the source image is "Kiwi fruit" or to be more precise kiwi fruit slices. LMAO. The moon and landscape images are my own.
