The Inspiration For This
This is another abstract experiment in Corel Painter 18.
I was experimenting here with using the Sargent brushes (based on the work of John Singer Sargent).
I've described before how hard it seems to be to get the chaos inherent in natural textures using digital painting.
These brushes seem to be ideal in simulating those types of textures. It is still quite hard work to get a natural look though and requires a lot of effort which is quite ironic!
I went through lots of layers both adding and deleting to get it where it looked right to me.
In the end it looks reminiscent of a stained surface to me, or also some types of natural mineral formation.
I hope you like it.
Also (as I usually say) feel free to use it in your own posts if you can find a use for it.
