New World of Digital Painting with PS CS5

Queridas Leitoras
um resumo bem curtinho para que vocês, que me acompanham aqui, saberem do que eu vou falar em inglês.
O Photoshop CS5 vem com uma nova ferramenta de pintar completamente reformulada e que vai mudar o nosso jeito de pintar no Photoshop.
Basicamente tem duas novidades: a ferramenta pincel chamada BRISTEL BRUSH e a segunda é a ferramenta pincel MIX - chamada MIXER BRUSH TOOL. Como eu estou fazendo um curso em inglês com um professor da Academia Digital Art, o post abaixo será todo em inglês e sem tradução.

Hi my dear Readers.

First of all - lets talk about digital painting. I'm doing a course at Digital Art Academy.
This is the Digital Painting With CS5 course:
You have to turn in assignments on their schedule and it is necessary to have some experience in digital painting and also of the PS interface.
And you will need some extra time to learn all these different and new features of the bristle brushes.

BUT if you don't have any extra time and want to know a little bit more about the new bristle brushes, then you can do like I did:
I bought a brush set from a fabulous painter called John Derry: John Derry's Artists' Brushes for Photoshop CS5 http://pixlart.blogspot.com/

John's Artists' Brushes for Photoshop CS5 are available at an introductory price of $19.95.
You will get 6 video tutorials, John's Cloning Layer action, Canvas Pattern, and Brush Preset files. It is that really worth! Watch this video:


And let's talk about Digital Scrapbooking Layouts:
I received a beautiful kit from my dear scrap friend Janet - from the exclusive PS I love You collection at DDR.
And I also did a CU pack for this Collection:
Wow - yes, finally I'm doing layouts again!

Here below is Janet's layout with her kit, my paper and the template for the September challenge:

And here below I did my secon layout and used a kit from Maria Designs.
The template is from me and I did it for the September Layout Challenge at the DigiDesignResort.
