June 2011 - Spanish Courtyard

How I did it -  I autopainted six layers - Palette Knife, Neon Knife; Acrylics - Wet Detail Brush, Cloners - Wet Gouache, Camel Oil and texture Spray Cloner. The layers were dropped and I used Photoshop to erase areas where no texture was desired. I cloned using Acrylics - Wet Detail brush and muddied up the foreground area with Cloner - Thick Bristle brush. Color was adjusted and I added a pair of strokes for the simple frame.

Kathy Potter I like it, I especially love all of the different textures. I think I might have added something to the far right flower pot though, It looks as though it's hanging in the air. Love the concept!
Nick Muskovac I’m not sure if I commented on this painting before;  Since I enjoy seeing texture, I was impressed with this image.  Clever way of using a lot of layers with different brushes.  Nice frame.

John Boretos This is a very happy and upbeat image.  The stucco on the house appears to me to cover the window.  The feeling of the image is guarded by the railing and the bright yellow is so close to the edge of the image that it forces the eye away from the central part of the image.   But all in all, I could hang this picture in my kitchen and like it there quite a bit.
Anne Eigen Nice perspective and contrasts of rough/smooth.  I feel like I would like to see the intensity of the textures reduced; it looks rather strong to me.  Also, maybe clone out the flowers on the left side that are mostly cut off.  The colors are delightful.  Good PS work with removing and blending in textures in various areas.

Shawn Schertzer - Biography

I did not become interested in photography until 2000 and joined PSA in Dec 2002. Landscapes were my first interest, but after a few years, I began to accept the fact that I could not convey the feelings a scene evoked in me using traditional photographic techniques. It was not until my first Painter project that I really began to see photography as a component of a broader, sensory experience.
