P_6 Summer Landscape Painting


This scene is a bright sunny day, about noon, so there should be a shadow almost directly under the D-Tree.  Select the D-Tree  layer, click on  Effects > Objects > Create Drop Shadow.  When the Drop Shadow dialog box appears uncheck the Collapse to one layer box if it is checked (27).  Leave all other settings at their default.  Click OK.

In the Objects palette, Layers section, click on the Gray Triangle of the Layer 2 and Shadow layer bar to access the Shadow sub layer.  Click on the Shadow bar to select It (28).

Drag the shadow layer to the middle of the canvas.  Click on Effects > Orientation > Distort.  Drag the Distort Selection dialog box off to one side so it is out of the way.  Press the ‘M’ key, hold down the ’Alt’ key and click once on the image to reduce it to 50% magnification (29).
