Description

GRECO, El...Spanish painter (b. 1541, Candia, d. 1614, Toledo...was quite a remarkable painter with an emphasis towards religious figures and events. My sketch of El Greco's "Apostles Peter and Paul"...circa 1592, was accomplished with F, H, and HB Pencils and with .3 and .5 Mechanical Pencils. The Background, Matting and Frame, along with a Soft Focus effect, Drop Shadow, Face (top of matting) and Cross were effected with PSP8. Some postwork on the Hair and Beards were also done through PSP8. The referenced Photo was found at Web Gallery of Art...web address: http://www.kfki.hu/~arthp/index_co.html. Thank you for stopping by!...Cheryl
