I'm dreaming of gardens again. I love how zinnias can be so varied in colors and layers of petals. They are a hardy and easy flower to grow. They are often overlooked by some gardens, but with all the varieties available these days, are going to be a must in my new gardens. I hope to plant as many varieties as I can, perhaps crossbreed some as well. I used Corel's Painter X software to digitally paint this, not a manipulation. I used blenders, water, chalks, pastels, and airbrushes, and a few other brushes to create this soft mix. I used my electronic canvas & wireless stylus pen- a Wacom tablet to do the painting. I could not do this with a computer mouse. I've been testing out the Painter X as a trail downoad to see if it's worth the upgrade. I love all the new features and how it's solved some features that made it even more user friendly. I know I'll be purchasing the upgrade already.
