I thought this would make a great picture to paint. I give photo credit to Philg at MIT.

I had fun with this using Trimoons sketching technique with a couple tweaks.

Hi Swampy...nice pic.

Check your email.

Great picture and renditions!
I used a watercolor technique.

Nice, Oltenius. Yours has a whimsical feel.

Steve... Hey, it looks more Van Gogh than Lautrec. <wink>

Nice one Swampy, I thought I'd try something similar myself.

Peter

nice, dee dee. i like how you simplified it.

oltenius, great use of color wheel rules.

i've been on an enhance kick lately. rather than paint, i've been trying to simply bring out more of the image or just better it somehow as a photo, while still running over into the art area a bit.

so, i cleaned things up a bit first, then tinted the water and changed the flower color. i followed that with a usm and a clarify and cropped the whole thing down a bit.

Peter, very nice and soft!

Craig, Excellent job. Great Crop and color corrections.

Really like Oriental Gardens Dee Dee. Did some preprocessing (ACE, AAA Fotofix, etc.) and then did some vector simplication blending. :)

thanks, dee dee :) i look at it this morning and i think i maybe got it a bit too grainy. might have to tone that usm down a bit.

nice, lk. i like that :)

Dee and Craig, Thanks for the kind words!
Its a pleasure to see all the great renditions in this thread!
Regards,
Dan

Nothing special, but re-coloring and outlining here.

Better purple then green Dee Dee. lol

Thanks for your comments too Craig. :)

you're welcome, lk.

and steve, definitely van gogh strokes on yours.

Here is what I came up with. Another water color version.

Cathy, I like your rendering of the water. The reflections are very good.

you're welcome, lk.

and steve, definitely van gogh strokes on yours. I hope this modern method meets with his approval. :grin:

I went oriental the whole way with this one.

Very nice, Glikster! What software did you do that in?

Thank you!
Photoshop CS2. I used the Impressionist plug-in quite a lot.

Thanks Swampy, this is a really nice garden.
Did you take the photo?
cathy

No, it came from morgue files.

Very nice picture! Thanks for sharing it, Swampy!
Good jobs done already!!!
Here's mine, done the cartoony way.
Sylvia

Swampy, thank you for the photo.

This was a fun picture to work on. Thanks, Swampy.

Klautt: Nice brush strokes.

Pavel: Your graphic pen runs opposite from mine. In Photoshop it runs top right to bottom left. Cool.

Sylvia, hardly "cartoony". I'd say a nice watercolor.

Thanks. Actually, it was angled brush strokes in Photoshop run on a mask (sort of). Never used graphic pen filter before. Now that you mentioned it, look like a nice tool. Thank you for the tip.
