Description

An Original Digital Painting of "Sedona Arizona. The Desert View Watchtower, is a Digital Painting of one of our favorite places in the Grand Canyon. Many never see it, as the buses running the routes in the Grand Canyon only go as far as Yaki Point.

Original Digital Paintings are not created from a Photograph, but from "scratch" on a "blank" Photoshop Canvas, using a combination of many Photoshop "Brushes" which work much like real brushes used with Oil Paint. Click any area of the Painting, to see the detail in HIGH Definition, as it will look on a larger Canvas, Print, Acrylic, Digital, etc..
After painting for many years, in our opinion it is more difficult to paint in PS than on a real canvas, and takes longer. But, wthout many years of experience painting with Oils and Acrylics, could not do as well in Photoshop. On a canvas, you can paint over mistakes to hide them. But must totally alter or redo the original in Photoshop, if you make a major mistake. On canvas, have never made a sketch first, just applied the paint, like Bob Ross and many others.

When Artists switch from using Oil or Acrylic Paint and other chemicals they help protect the environment. There are no obnoxious smells or chemical residue and discarded paint or cleaners to harm the earth. Another advantage, as we live and travel in an RV, we have only one easel, so don't have to switch off Palette's or take turns and we can both paint at the same time.

We like a lot of the viewpoints past there, especially Grandview, Moran, Lapin and Navajo or even many unnamed view points.
.....
Were the grand canyon level or a valley plain it would make a state. It can be different from hour to hour, day to day, week to week and month to month.
.....
A year scarcely suffices to see it all. It has infinite variety, and no part is ever duplicated. Its colors, many and complex, change with the ascending and declining sun; lights and shadows appear and vanish with the passing clouds, and the changing seasons mark their passage in changing colors.
