Hi Kayleen,<br />Wow I am impressed with your portrait! I am a traditional oil painter,used to study at the East Ringwood studio with Graham and Barb,and have retired to Gippsland.My health has been chronic lately,so sadly am not painting in my studio or on location very often.I used to play with PaintBox,is this where you've created this?

I download the free program you mentioned (PaintBox 2.2.8) and checked it out. To be honest you won't het very far using it. It is very limited, a great program for kids doodles but not to paint. I was using
