Also done in Painter IX.

Cloned Image - not quick clone.
Duplicated Background
Xero Line Art - multiply mode
Added new layer between background and line art layer.
Switch off background layer
Painted the flower on this layer using flat oil cloner.
Switched off line art layer.
Added another layer below the painting - coloured and added canvas texture.
Texured painting using image luminance.


I find this method better than using the tracing paper as you can see what the result will be.

Here's a fairly abstract version. Not quite sure how I got here, but it's mostly Impressionist + Spatter + Distort>Wave.

Another different (and quick, it's bedtime) approach

Changed hue (drastically) and moved over to Gimp
Applied "oilify" (7)
Applied gaussian blur (1)
Applied canvas (2)
Saved as tif; moved back to Photoshop to save for web

purdy flower...

Started with Ocean Ripple. Then used some of Danny's Impressionist settings.
Added a threshold layer above on Overlay (deleted the white) and added a Cutout and Find Edges layer above on Linear burn. Spattered and Angled Strokes the edge layer.
Stamped and texturized.

Reduced gamma on Blue channel so that the background was green and tweaked Red and Green channels; Duplicated layer; Art History Brush; Smudge Tool; Find Edges and Faded; Tweaked hue/sat to bring out the greens and soften the red; Merged visible and added a mask; Added a green layer below the masked layer; Painted on the mask for a non border; Added a sandstone texture and faded.

Such a range of effects! Very well done everyone!
I dont normally like doing digital oils since i used to do the real thing at one time, but recently found out about the " round camelhair" brush in the oils category. I used a cloned brush, after changing hue of the image a bit.

Judy, your work is truly realistic. It is very evident that you used to paint...and were quite good at it. Nice!

Thank you Janet. Well, there's a great big difference with computer aided images! Do u know, my digital creations are not much appreciated by my friends here at home, they insist "hand work" the world over is what's truly valuable. I agree of course, but it also makes me mad!

Hi Legacy~Art,

Here's my interpretation.

I cut the flower out of the Background, copied it several times gave it a light touch of the Liquify filter and finally used the Extrude filter followed by Smart Blur.

After that I just added a new background.

Hope you like it.

Regards

Con Looymans
