Lesson 614

Autumn Teaches

 

This lesson was written on October 19, 2024 using psp12.

If you are working with a different version of PSP, the settings and filter effects may give a different effect. Play around with the settings until you get the desired result.

 

This lesson was conceived and written by me. Any similarity is purely coincidental.


In my lessons I use a color scheme

I list the colors by noting the color number in the color box, in the color scheme



Main tube is from
