With the finished Xara vector image - I did a 'select All' than changed the base color to ‘none’ and line color to grey, also feathered all lines slightly. Removed and/or covered some details and added smudges. | |

| Comments: | I kept coming across pictures of old bathtubs in 'Better Home type' magazines and wanted to include one in a picture. Once I got started I tried to apply as much 'flow' as I could to all the image's elements. This resulted in it being quite 'stylized'. It took a fair amount of time to do but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

| Comments: | One of my first Xara projects. I used it to get use to the Transparency and other Tool. A simple still-life that didn't take too long to do - but one of my favourites. |

| Comments: | I did this from a photograph of a boat that I came across on the Isle of Wight. I used the photo for reference for the boat. The sea wall, man, dog and other elements are all 'made-up'.

| Comments: | I came across this garden in Poole, Dorset (England) and thought that the bench would make a nice focal point. I made-up the flowers in the for-ground and most of the background detail. |

| Comments: | I saw this tractor in a museum in Dorset England. It had a lot of character and I thought that it would make a good subject. I tried not to make it look too realistic. The birds and background features are all 'made-up'.
