I’ve been busy learning Krita, an open-source free platform. Created by artists for artists, this powerful, professional-grade software supports layers, advanced brush engines, and color management (CMYK/RGB).

Here I’m strictly using the clone tool to paint and transform my original oil painting into a new artistic-Tradigital-style for my portfolio. Don’t know yet where it may end up, but that’s the same process as traditional painting. So far I’m thoroughly enjoying the expansion and creativity it affords me.
