What a perfect beautiful flower, i saw this and thought awesome painting material but what do you see and what can you achieve?

Impress me!


As close to 100KB as i could get it

Hello

I did this in Corel Painter 9 with a mouse not a tablet and pen, i added texture of sandstone.

Also done in Painter IX.

Cloned Image - not quick clone.
Duplicated Background
Xero Line Art - multiply mode
Added new layer between background and line art layer.
Switch off background layer
Painted the flower on this layer using flat oil cloner.
Switched off line art layer.
Added another layer below the painting - coloured and added canvas texture.
Texured painting using image luminance.


I find this method better than using the tracing paper as you can see what the result will be.

Photoshop
Underpaint + Rough Pastels + Emboss

Here's a fairly abstract version. Not quite sure how I got here, but it's mostly Impressionist + Spatter + Distort>Wave.

....had to try a different approach.

T

Changed hue (drastically) and moved over to Gimp
Applied "oilify" (7)
Applied gaussian blur (1)
Applied canvas (2)
Saved as tif; moved back to Photoshop to save for web

Started with Ocean Ripple. Then used some of Danny's Impressionist settings.
Added a threshold layer above on Overlay (deleted the white) and added a Cutout and Find Edges layer above on Linear burn. Spattered and Angled Strokes the edge layer.
Stamped and texturized.

Reduced gamma on Blue channel so that the background was green and tweaked Red and Green channels; Duplicated layer; Art History Brush; Smudge Tool; Find Edges and Faded; Tweaked hue/sat to bring out the greens and soften the red; Merged visible and added a mask; Added a green layer below the masked layer; Painted on the mask for a non border; Added a sandstone texture and faded.

Beautiful pictures everyone!!!

Nice to see you Janet love your picture!

Such a range of effects! Very well done everyone!
I dont normally like doing digital oils since i used to do the real thing at one time, but recently found out about the " round camelhair" brush in the oils category. I used a cloned brush, after changing hue of the image a bit.

Judy, your work is truly realistic. It is very evident that you used to paint...and were quite good at it. Nice!

Thank you Janet. Well, there's a great big difference with computer aided images! Do u know, my digital creations are not much appreciated by my friends here at home, they insist "hand work" the world over is what's truly valuable. I agree of course, but it also makes me mad!

Hi Legacy~Art,

Here's my interpretation.

I cut the flower out of the Background, copied it several times gave it a light touch of the Liquify filter and finally used the Extrude filter followed by Smart Blur.

After that I just added a new background.

Hope you like it.

Regards

Very nice, very professional, very creative Con. Good going.

:bow: Wow! This is a thread to save and use as tutorials. Everyone, such beautiful paintings!
I've just lately discovered the Art History brushes, and after playing w/ the colors a bit, that's how I painted it, then added sandstone texture.

Jaykita, I understand. I do (real) watercolors, and people have lots of nice things to say about them, but when I try to show them what I've painted on the computer, they're not interested.

Hi Con how are you? Awesome imagination you have!

Nice work raniday

Nice to see you Steve, great picture, i have yet to find out where the art history brush is, will make a mental note to ask my friend Tell.

Thank you for responding. I LOVE watercolors and i've seen your (digital) work. They are simply fabulous!

Created base vector flow field in greyscale with a rake brush.
From that, created two complete flow fields (Displacment Maps) with Emboss.
Got crazy with Displace.
Recycled the greyscale for some bump.

Got a little too heavy-handed with some of the lines as you can see with some of the white tips on the pedals.
Next time I'll take a little more care.

I'm not sure what to think.

You're right Elle, a good photo to work on, thank you. Inspiring results everyone :nod: :nod:
