Creating a picture...

I am often asked how I create my picture and what type of paint I use. Well, I don't use any paint at all - just printer ink! All my pictures are created using the Adobe Creative Suite which is a set of software tools that includes the famous Photoshop (although I don't actually use Photoshop that much). 

Last week I was invited to visit HMS Excellent, a shore base in Portsmouth, to take some photos of Navy Command HQ with a view to creating a picture for them. I used these photos a starting point for my design and using Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign I can go from this.....

To this....

Or even this...

Oh the fun you can have with a computer....
