Hi There,

Welcome to my profile.

At first... Thanks for watching my pictures/ work, it's very appreciated.

Now some info:

I'm a 32 year old woman from the Netherlands.
My real name is Brenda, Gerbren is just my nickname.
I'm a self taught digital artist specialized in photo manipulation and (creative) retouching.
Every single idea that comes to my mind is written down in a book. I can make manipulations for ages. Looking at the tv, my environment, listening to music, watching stockimages or pictures on the internet give me a constant flow of new ideas that I'd like to bring to life trough my manipulations. I sometimes just present a scenery or beautiful person, so not everything has an idea or concept behind it, but it's my biggest challenge to give you a little story or a work with a meaning. If I can make you think, look another time or give you a certain feeling with my created atmosphere, than I'm happy.
To achieve those results I use stockpictures, brushes and once in a while my own photo's in combination with stockimages.
There is often a little bit of drawing involved too, but I'm not a painter.
My style is very broad; these are the themes you will see in my work:
Fantasy, surrealism, romance, epic, dark/horror, macabre, sci-fi, narrative, illustrative, emotional, meaningful, colourful, embellishing/ retouching.

Tools of the trade:

~Lenovo, ~Adobe CS 3 extended, ~ Corel paint shop pro X2, Photofiltre, Photoshop elements, Wacom Bamboo tablet, model: MTE-450A.


I'm not a very active photographer at the moment, but these are my camera's:
Canon EOS 350 D
Fuji Finepix S 5800

Note:

My photo's should not be used, reproduced or distributed without my written permission. Please contact me if you would like to use any of my photo's.
My artwork may not be reproduced, copied, edited, published, transmitted, tubed or uploaded in any way.
The reason is simple...most of my artwork is made with the help of stockimages from other people.They all have strict rules about the use of their images and copyright. If you want to use the images from my work, you should go to the links I give in the descriptions.
(They are links to stockimages). Whatever you do...always read and follow the stockrules in the profiles from the stockowners.And don't use stockimages for commercial use!
(Unless you have written permission from the stockowner.)

You know I like to be diverse when it comes to making digital art. When looking at my art: what kind of manipulations (style/category) would you like to see more? What kind of work do you find most enjoyable? (just curious)

Thank you very much for the kind words and :+devwatch: :aww: :rose:
I don't know how familiar you are with photoshop, but knowing the important tools is the basics. The rest is imagination, the feel for composition, creating mood etc.
Keep practicing and trying and always respect the stockrules. ;)
You can always ask me a question if you need some help with something particular. Good luck and enjoy! :aww:
