137 SHOP TALK - July 28, 2026 - Digital Oil Painting with Cindy Gosselin

$0.00

Today we mainly saw Cindy Gosselin's presentation on how to use and get started with Mixer Brushes. Cindy showed us how to find theMixer Brush, understand the settings and how to get started. Next week, participants are encouraged to submit images they have created using this technique, and on August 11, Cindy will be there to answer any questions.  

To start, Cindy recommends reading the article she wrote for the Photographic Society of America and notes (both are attached).  Then it might be useful as a beginner first step for those interested to create backgrounds.  Either use an existing image or create a new canvas with colors you want.  Then use chunky or “textured” brushes to mix the colors with the mixer brush.  This would not necessitate the use of a Wacom pen.  You can use purchased backgrounds…. But its fun to create your own and afterwards tackle painting in a subject.

Most important is to have fun!

Also in today's session, we saw Yuki's floral-painted images and Kim's attempt at an Archi Sketch (an ongoing learning process for us all!).
