For this picture, having started off with File New and File Properties, before using the watercolour brush I used Home and then I clicked on the paint bucket that is in the middle of the upper row of logos in the group of six logos that is to the left of where one chooses a brush.

I then moved the pointer over to the right and I clicked on the Grey 25% colour square, which is in the lower row, second from the left, next to the White colour square.

I then moved the pointer onto the canvas, whereupon the pointer turned into a paint bucket with paint tipping out of it.

I then clicked on the canvas, and the whole canvas turned grey.

So then I chose the watercolour brush and produced the picture.

So, StarDreamer Exactly what my grandchildren done as toddlers without all the tech hoo ha ?

There is now a thread specifically for using the Paint program to produce art.

So, StarDreamer Exactly what my grandchildren done as toddlers without all the tech hoo ha ?

Well, maybe.

But many of us grew up in an era before such things were available to us as children and we did not have television and we listened to the wireless as it was then called.

Then we had television, one channel, black and white.

And so on.

Just because some things now available are used by children, does not mean that people here cannot enjoy using them.

Children drink pure orange juice. That is no reason for me not to enjoy drinking it.

You refer to "tech hoo ha".

Yet if one is at home and would like to learn, detailed guidance of how to get started can be useful.

If you already know how to do what I have described, then you are fortunate. Yet please consider that what I have posted, both here and in the new thread, may be helpful to some people, and that some people might like not to post but may enjoy producing some art privately.

So, yes, maybe a pile on will start here, maybe the new thread will be disrupted by some people just because they are able to do so.

C'est la vie, hey ho.

Hey look please, the Virtual cruise Lyon to Avignon and Arles has, at the time of writing this post, only six more posts possible.

How will the thread end?

Will there be a link to a new thread?

Down to only four.

Three posts left!

TAAT?

Well done ixion

Two posts left for a graceful ending.

You’ve clearly never witnessed the many seamless transitions of Soop’s Kitchen - GN members are past masters at this.

Alas no, I am waiting to observe the 1000th post in the thread.

I think it’s most likely StarDreamer. I’ve only joined in these last 2 days. It’s witty and fun. You could always come aboard a new cruise if it happens? I’ll save you a deckchair. I’ll be up on the promenade deck.

So alas no link to a new thread in the thread.

Hey ho.

I don’t think a link will be posted StarDreamer. Popular threads never need one. Someone just opens up a new one ... and off we go again!

Thank you.

There have been suggestions of a Rhine Cruise and then a journey on The Orient Express.

In the imagination a replica of The Orient Express is already being constructed in France.

Other suggestions are welcome.

Wont be by me ... I’m a bear of very little brain!
I’m happy just to hitch a ride on someone else’s imaginative tour.

Please note that in the Virtual cruise Lyon to Avignon and Arles that I made the original post very compact so that when it would be repeated at the top of every page it would be unobtrusive and not distort the sequence of the thread.

Then I introduced the thread in the first post on the first page.

Invaluable advice I am sure StarDreamer.

Do I detect a bit of meanness here? Am I missing something from when I wasn’t posting? I just seem to be behind the curve and it feels a bit off somehow ...

A new, follow on, thread is already underway.

Excellent.

Here is a link to the original thread.

SD, what’s your obsession with links?
We can find the new thread without being organised into doing so.
Do step aboard, but challenge yourself to relax and just follow the advice in the Côte D’Azur OP.

Or, you could start an entirely new thread, stardreamer.
Entirely up to you.
Do whatever you like.
