PHOTO ART: Mini-Challenge #31 – Yellow-pink Rose

[Ruzzez]

I played with a lot of layers and combined the ones I liked. I applied a yellow-lavendar mask. Used dry brush on final image and blended it back in with saved copy of adjusted image.

Nice job Ruzzez.

Mind posting the original so the rest of us can have a play? This is after all the photo art forum for those of us inclined to play with photos in an artsy way.

Keep up the good work.

OOPs, my bad. Sorry about that folks. Brain freeze in full swing.

Thanks for reviving this thread. I missed it along the way.

I've been playing with background brushes for the PST and kinda like the "string" effect that I got. For this one. Here I've applied the brush as a PST with Impressionist turned on. Then on a layer above added back just a touch of the original background.

ok, my first try:

1) Filter: Graphite pen
2) Channel mixer to "dull" the colors
3) 3 different hue/saturation layers to add coloring back to rose.

Welcome to RTP, Koo.... You hit the ground running! Nice paiting.

Thanks swampy for comment. Now that I look my picture I see few mistakes that I made, but I think that a good start.

Hello All,

Just thought I'd post this one of the rose painted in ArtRage. I also gave the petals a little smudging in Photoshop.

Thanks for looking.

I should have read through the threads first, I saw some beautiful roses and techniques that I haven't experimented with yet. I basically Increased the Sat. Ran an Unsharp Mask and then Smudge Painted it.

very nice sjordanc the old threads are always worth rereading there are lots of techniques to experiment with and some to blush over

Wow! After looking at all the beautiful interpretations already here ... I almost decided not to even post mine. You folks sure do some awesome things! I accidently deleted the one I liked most of mine ... so this is the better of the 2 I had left (the other is the same except I used curves to make it much darker).

Erased roughly the background
Adjusted the contrast
Made a copy of the rose adjusted size, turned it a bit as well

Put a colour overlay on both to make them just a bit more sepia looking
Included the leafes which where put under the roses (i did not use the original leafs, because it was actually easier to just import some other ones)
Put a yellow colour overlay on the leafs, so they blend in a bit better.
The first texture was a beige concrete type toned and textured, where I erased the roses, used hard light
The other was a greenish blue texture, used over lay and I erased the roses out of that one as well
I then put a final beige texture with brown edges(linear burn) over the lot, just erasing one or two petals with a low opacity brush.

Many fine renditions. This one was done in Impressionist.

Animated water reflection is under a rose.
