In the June 2009 issue of Watercolor Artist, Nicholas Simmons challenged readers to use Photoshop to develop new creative avenues in their compositions. "Viewing your composition through the lens of a graphics editing program is a fascinating way to explore the endless possibilities hiding in your work—if not also in your head—and to stimulate new ways of thinking and seeing," he said. We're now pleased to announce the winner of our $100 gift certificate to North Light books: Elise Beattie of Paducah, Kentucky with Painted Lady.
