For my master study I chose an old Absinthe poster.  I chose Absinthe because their posters not only have great illustration, but are great examples of good graphic design.  As you can see mine is not quite done yet.  
I believe that the original was done in watercolors.  I started out doing the flat color with acrylic because it seemed the most like Photoshop's brushes.  When I applied the highlights and shadows I started using watercolor brushes and was pleased with the results.  I also  used  the felt pen brush to do all the line work.  I  almost recreated the letters with Illustrator but thought  it would be better to use Painter.  So all the lettering was hand drawn as well.  All in all I am very pleased with the way this piece is working out.
