"Tiptoe through the tulipps..."

Have fun.

~Danny~

This was an interesting angle on the tulips. Someone had a nice batch this year.

I used straight Impressionist presets on this--no modifications. Each number represents a layer starting at the bottom.

1. geometric--chaotic chrome
2. geometric--jaggy glass (lighten)
3. crayon--distressed fresco rubbing 2 (soft light)
4. gaussian blur sketch layer (soft light 33%)
5. pattern fill layer (soft light 70%)

Two great pictures with such individuality!
Here's my offering:
Flip
Wet Paint
Bump Map
Emboss
Low Pass
Diffuse
Bump Map
Adjusted lighting

Nice pic Danny!

Cheryl : it really is looking like impressionist paintings : well done
Don : good colorful abstract, feels a bit like graffiti (it must be the wall!)
Annadarling : seems a bit like needlepoint.

Oh I love tulips, shame they usually are so shortlived.

Two versions resulted from a little change.

First one
I changed saturation a bit and heightend the green color.

Then there are 4 layers in the stack + bg (which stays off)

make four dupes :

turn all layers off except the topmost one

-- top layer : layer desat
copy layer -invert but I didn't use color dodge and gaussian blur but used USM before changing the blend mode.
then merged visible these two layers.
dupe again
multiply to make the lines heavier. merge visible again
this layer plaming pear Tachyon and blend mode Difference
- third layer : paint engine-random generation/ overlay
- second layer : impressionist watery spatter / overlay
- first layer : colourworks-contrast

second one is the first stack, flatten and run kpt materializer on it

that's it

Cutout filter, diffuse glow, texture.
