Paul Alie introduced us to his way of using photo
editing software. Though he used Photoshop Elements he
explained that most editing software programs include the
functions he demonstrated. He showed us how he composes
a painting by combining photos, adjusting size, position,
shading and color as well as a couple of “filters” that helps
simplify images by reducing confusing detail. He also uses
the software to preplan changes or additions to paintings in
progress, trying various adjustments on the computer before
deciding which ones to apply to the work. Paul explained
that he often paints several versions of a composition until he
is satisfied.

After demonstrating the use of the software he painted a
version of one of his works in progress, using wet in wet, dry
brush and negative painting techniques. Thank you Paul!
