Lightning Over the Mesas
I love sitting on our deck overlooking the mesas of New Mexico watching a summer evening thunderstorm. Nothing is more dramatic than the brilliant flashes of lightning that illuminate the distance mesas. This
month's tutorial is my humble attempt to capture some of this special electrifying magic. With 30 steps this tutorial gets fairly involved in places so some experience with Xara Xtreme is advisable. But if you
are a tenacious beginner have a go at it. And if you get hung up at some point or don't understand something, or if, as usual I left out something crucial, use the e-mail link at the bottom of Page 11 and let me know.
