Street Harpist

[raniday]

Here's a pretty young lady in a busy scene. You may want to isolate her before you artify or leave her there. No restrictions on use of this photo. It came from Stock Xchange. Have fun.

A combination of Painter and PS. Den's brushes, clone, blends.

[Kraellin]

oh wow; you really changed it, kiska. looks much better than with all those folks around. very nicely done!

one alternative i thought of while looking at yours was adding in maybe one other person, sort of in the background on the left and a bit in the dark. not sure why... just a thought.

Kiska, I wouldn't have thought to make it so dark and dramatic. That's beautiful!

Ditto.

Great colors and suggestive form.

[kiska]

Thank you guys!

[Steve Conway]

Here's the little lady sitting in a painting.

[raniday]

Steve, that's so creative and works really well here! Good job.

[Steve Conway]

I noticed, the more I looked at it, that no one seemed to be aware that she was even there. Looked like she was in some kind of time warp.

Hence this interpretation.

Thanks.

a very apt observation, steve, and an equally good job on portraying same. i've seen this same thing with other street performers at times and it always surprises me. i almost always go up to the person and comment or contribute, but lots of folks seem to pretend these artists arent there. quite odd.

well done on catching this and portraying it.

Craig

[palms]

Why ?
not sure I also probably done it a bit backward
but ran a watercolour than isolated harpist and basket ! put harp strings back in (roughly ) and put on a black background

Palms

[Kraellin]

wow, palms! that looks like something out of a fairy tale book. really nice

steve, did you remove your image? i dont see it now.

Craig

edit: lol. never mind, steve. i was looking at the wrong post.

[raniday]

Palms, I agreen w/ Kraellin, my first thought was it looks like a Walt Disney princess, and I thought those strings might be tough, but you replaced them flawlessly.

[Steve Conway]

Palms, it does look like a cel from a Disney movie.

Nice one!

Steve

[raniday]

Ok, here's my take on this one. I'm REALLY showing my age by knowing the words to Scarborough Fair.
Agreeing with Steve,

I noticed, the more I looked at it, that no one seemed to be aware that she was even there. Looked like she was in some kind of time warp.

I tried to set her even farther apart from the crowd.

[Kraellin]

very nice, raniday. and you're not alone, i remember simon and garfunkel also

Craig

[palms]

I really like it raniday, particulary the way the background has been done, Craig simon and who ?


Palms





p.s. only joking

[Steve Conway]

Steve

[Steve Conway]

I just joined this forum and I'm a little new to PP. I did this using Studio Artist and PScs, You guys are doing great stuff I like them all.

[Kraellin]

welcome to RP, dbuckle.

and very nice piece there

Craig

[raniday]

Thanks, guys, for the kind words. I've regretted putting the words to the song on the picture because I can't get it outta my mind now!!!

Dbuckle, that's really nice. I have a PC, so I can't use Studio Artist, so I'm a little envious. Welcome to the forum.

[dbuckle]

Thanks for the kind words and the wellcome.

[Kraellin]

Craig simon and who ?

palms, you didnt reallly think i was going to let that pass, did you? ...something devious...it's got to be something devious.... you dont have any pictures of yourself posted somewhere, do you? no, no, too obvious.... hmmm..... i'll work on it

Craig

[palms]

Yep Craig i thought i had got that one past you, as for photo's only take them not pose for them ! ! ! ! ! ! !

dbuckle welcome look forward to seeing more of your work

Palms

[jaykita]

Great image to paint, Catherine! Scarborough Fair is a lovely song, i know it too, btw Interesting you should think of it for this image. Seems to suit it.
Kiska, your creation is simply gorgeous, and would grace any wall!
Palms, very nice illustrative effect. Dbuckle, very nice watercolor effect.
Good work everyone.
Mine was with painter ix, first the kpt filter - pyramid paint effect, and then cloned over with an oil pastel brush.

[Kraellin]

Yep Craig i thought i had got that one past you, as for photo's only take them not pose for them ! ! ! ! ! ! !

hehehe

ok, all this talk about scarborough fair has given me an idea. i'll get back to you

Craig

[Panpan]

I tried to show that she is connected to the others even though she seems alone. Her audience is behind her back .

Pierre

[raniday]

Pierre, your soft, glowing colors give this a magical effect. I just keep looking at it

[Kraellin]

pierre,

once again i'm reminded of disney. when i saw your image in the thumbnail, i thought for sure i was going to be seeing dwarves and even when i opened the full image i was almost, at first, sure i was seeing snow white and the 7 dwarves very nice.
