Painted Gulls, 2 versions
I am really liking the variable "dry reveal" in DAP 2 and the selectable
individual painting color palettes. This first one was Benson with the "Tarbell 1" palette.
Then worked in ps with a textured parchment overlay in multiply mode....and some other light tweaks.
This is mostly a monochrome base image with some blur mask applied in DAP
before rendering.
thank you for looking in and c/c......and the opportunity to share
#2 is a chalk render with the central lower gulls removed.....DAP now has a feature
to remove unwanted visual elements and paint the area back in

Dave, the base image sure is sweet! I find the first version more appealing because there is almost a halo
around the gulls and the reflections are more prominent. I can hardly wait to play around with DAP this
weekend - I like what everyone is doing with it:)

Dave, These are some fine examples of the features available w/ the upgrade. I am in LOVE w/ the first image. Colors and soft reflection are most appealing.Beautiful base image and your composition is fantastic. I like the texture in the second post and find the pink palette to be very nice.Very neat that you can remove unwanted areas.
Dave, I like the first version best. The middle gulls complete the picture IMO. Great effects. Love the colors and textures.
Agree with Christopher on the first image. Another pleasing image!
Well done..first image is my choice
I'll make it unanimous for choice number 1. I find the effects and colors more pleasing for that one, especially the reflections. Well done, Dave. Thanks for sharing the original and the two different renditions.
Beautiful rendering of the base image. I sure like the first one.
thanks for comments everyone....yes, I too much prefer the first.
The second was more a DAP experiment to remove an element before painting
and play with color palettes
I vote for the second post. Of course they are all nice. Very well done.
