what an interesting effect, cazubi. very nice!

mind saying some of what you did to get that?

Thanks Kraellin. I made a couple of layers of the rose and played with some paint filters and blending modes (Photoshop). I then opened it in Painter and used the oil cloners to get a better painted effect. Back in Photoshop I added a color/texture background and erased a some of the rose background, more blending and color adjustments and some text. I confess, I probably left some steps out, as I was just having fun and not paying attention. I have to start making notes.

thanks cazubi. it's ok, i dont have either of those programs, so a tutorial on it would have been a bit wasted on me. it reminded me of some of those older painted on wood plaques i've seen over the years. very nice

and, you've all inspired me to try something a bit new for me....

Hi Legacy~Art,

Please find attached my rather tardy interpretation of your rose.

I simply cut the flower out of the background and aplied a couple of Curve Adjustment Layers over it (the BG) followed by a radial zoom filter effect.

The flower itself I simply blurred a bit.

Hope you like it.

Regards

Con
