Clay forest,   Photo and digital painting on tablet

Trying lots of  new stuff this week again while I wait for the acrylic paint.

This time I bought watercolor. Have not done that since I went to school as a child. So it is all new to me. A question to you that are used to the medium, is it possible to keep the paper from "bubbling"?

The Clay Forest, comes from cleaning up some remaning things from my mother. The clay was created by my mother and my daughter some 40 years ago. So, many memories there.
I photographed the pieces and manipulated them one by one in Photoshop. Then arranged the scene. The background is created by painting digitally with a tablet.

NatureFootstep Exhibition Feb 2017

I think none of you have visited what is my Homepage NatureFootstep.com. 

After the exhibition I plan to actually use it as my art blog. And use my main blog, NF Photography and photoart for mainly photography!

Might work! 

This post is for my exhibition. It has been up 4 days now and will stay till Feb 27. 

I have created a file for the photos in the exhibition where you can see them. So far I have only started it. Will fill it up later.
