This class had me take a look again at fresco from a different perspective.  I tried some things out on a photo first using live brushes and vector brushes

Then I took a sketch I had drawn, and tried painting it using live brushes and some pixel blender brushes. The outline of the knot I did first with a vector brush that I made into a mono line brush and saved. But the tried converting the outline to a pixel layer to go back over it with a “dry” live oil detail brush to give it texture but with some of the precision and trimming power of the vector brush had provided.

This class provided quite a bit of information, a lot of inspiration to experiment, and all that within a short time frame. Thank you.
