Hi yep the grass and flowres are done in Painter.

Painter 6 is a great progie :) you will love it for sure with what you can do with it. the grass is sone with a Smiery Brissel spray brush in oils.

Painter is active but not heavaly so so you will need to join a few boards for info on it. most are fooling with painter 7's water color at this time so this is the things you will see mostly but all will be happy to guide you in other areas as well.

Im not that active here in the painter forum as I just found it my self grin but this board and Indepth are my 2 favorit boards. have fun :)

PS for doing textures for your Vue works painter is bout as good as you can get. Im not downing the other programs at all they all work well for this, my meaning is for an artist with traditional background that finds the painting brushes of the other progs to not quit fit there exspectations so Have fun.

this is a painter WIP to be used as a background pic when its finished for thows that may be interested in its capabiluties.
