I don't think anyone realises what kind of huge mental process i go trough with every upload. I think my biggest fear is bother someone else by spamming useless art into their watch-list.

If you see this as something like that I'm sorry.
The scrap section in my gallery relieves some of this anxiety because watching it is optional.
(I'm like the weirdest person for even saying this out loud.)

These scans were taken during the painting process then I fooled around in ps a bit to see where I wanted the painting to go to. Before the first image the painting was just a mess of bluish colors.

Photoshop was handy in testing where I wanted the highlights of the water to go to as second guessing in the painting stage would have made fixing errors on that area hellish to say at least.

I also took this piece with me and stood in front of the mirror to "flip the canvas". That's why I added more detail to the right bank and a bigger rock as the river was leading the eye right out of the picture rather than leading it in.

Why the hell would anyone want to see that mess so close you ask? That mess is why I still want to do traditional pieces between my digital ones.
