| | | So glad you resurrected this thread Pavel123 - a wonderful photo for a painted portrait. Here's a Renoir style version done in Painter.

MargaretM | I believe JimJam was responsible for the resurrection of the image.
Nice painting.

| | | MargaretM I can't stand your image ( jealous as heck ). What a wonderful tranquil atmosphere you have created, It captures the dreamy look in her eyes and face so well. |

| | | Thanks JimJam and Pavel 123. As you know in creative mode, sometimes things work and sometimes they don't. Fortunately there is always something different to try. My first go round with this photo was dreadful, but I liked the way this second attempt turned out. Loved all your versions!

Alex | Alex,
I like your sketch.
It may be too late to ask... could you give some detail as to how did you do your "woman in a hat" painting ( http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/att...chmentid=36726)

An answer -
I don't remember exactly, but I always do a sketch from background in new layer
then I dup the background and use Impressionist filter (two times with fading) then blending the layers (multiply or line burn with reduce opacity)

| | | Alex, thanks a lot.
You are getting a lot of mileage out of the Impressionist plug-in.
Looking forward to see more of your works.

| | | Re: PHOTO ART: Mini-challenge #61 – Samantha I used mostly noise,color halftone,crosshatch and paint daubs,the different blend modes created the darkened areas.I used on the last layer Auto FX's Mystical Tint Tone & Color gradient filter pink & blue it helps to give the impression of a beautiful sunset. |

| | | Re: PHOTO ART: Mini-challenge #61 – Samantha Began with Snap Art Pastel filter in Photoshop and followed with color adjustments, several blending layers and lots of detailed brush work.
Pam, another winner! |

| | | Re: PHOTO ART: Mini-challenge #61 – Samantha i started this one in psp, cropping and adjusting brightness and contrast. i then took it to filterforge and ran 'chinese water color' by MeKenzie. i brought that back to psp and added it over the cropped image with a luminance blending at about 80% opacity. |
