This image uses a pattern made that I made a few days ago from one of my photographs. In Painter, you can open an image and "capture" it as a pattern. This is a pattern created from a photograph that I took earlier this summer of some unusual petunias that I saw in Lexington, MA. Tonight in Painter I loaded this new pattern into a pattern pen. I used a pink background and a large brush. I only made a few strokes, but I didn't get the placement right at first, so I had several do-overs. Once I had the strokes where I wanted them, I posterized the image at level 6, which is pretty strong. The posterizing creating some interesting stripe effects. The last step was to crop the image to get this composition.
