That is really impressive . I really enjoy looking at all of the entries. Thanks for giving us a hint at what it takes to create this type of entry..

Phyllis,
If you're getting the hang of oil painting as you posted in "Bambi", then you'll have no problem doing this.

The technique is the same except you choose a different brush style and don't use brush dynamics because it is pastel.

Wanda,
I like your rendition. Soft like a watercolor wash.

CJ - Nice combination of artistic flower and graphic background.

JBCaffrey - Can you enlighten me on PhotoArtMaster? Is it a separate program or a plug-in for Photoshop?

WANDA!! So very delicate and beautiful! The background is as lovely as the bloom.

Jim -- lovely rendition! I like the color contrast.

Gary (gland) -- that is an entrancing combination of hard/soft textures. Very neat effect!

Danny -- I just used a dupe of the original image -- inverted it first to get contrasting colors.

Here is my try.. I used a lot of Wanda's steps. Then experimented with blending modes and overlayed layers with noise added and flower removed with soft brush.

It is a stand alone program. It takes a couple of hours to get comfortable enough with the interface to begin to use it effectively. One drawback is that you can only save your work in jpeg. Unlike a plug-in like Paint Engine, you have considerable creative control over the final result. They have a very limited trial version available on their website http://www.fo2pix.com/.

I have had it about a week and enjoy using it. It costs about $70.00 U.S. when you include the shipping from the UK.

JB - Thanks for the info.
gland - The rose looks like it's above a frosted glass. Nice effect.

Thank you everyone This was such a beautiful image to begin with!! Using the colored version entry I checked out the channels.
Clicked on split channels. Discovered that there was an acceptable pencil sketch. Using the burn tool to darken some shadows and adjusting the contrast I think it looks somewhat like a pencel sketch?

Jerry, did you check out your channels, I bet you've got a nice pencil sketch Again, thanks everyone

Then I went a little crazy Why not, right! Using the pencil sketch I duplicated, new layer, filled with a deep red, blend mode, color. Adjusted opacity until I had the color I liked. Mask, brushed off the leaves. Flattened. Duplicated again, new layer, filled with a teal color, opacity 80%. Mask, brushed off with wet media brushes. Ok, I'll stop boring you guys. Besides I'm having too much fun

Just tried to make it look like a watercolor and added a little canvas texture.

Wanda, I love your two new roses, especially the soft pencil sketch... umm...make that the dark red one... no, the pencil sketch...uhhh ...or the dark red one... or... I CAN'T PICK ONE, THEY ARE BOTH TOO GOOD! You'd better not make another one or I will have to be medicated.

Pink Rose

I used the green channel only since the other two had lots of flaws. Colored it with the red/green gradient in oval shape, then overlaid the original over that in color mode and blended some of that color back into it. Then used 'find edges' with lowered opacity, then made just the rose into a new layer. Last step was plastic wrap on rose layer and again on background, with a bit of tweaking and increased contrast and saturation.
