Cass & Dave, I really like your paintings. Mine is sort of strange, but I actually like it a little; it reminds me of a stained glass window. I did it with Organic Edges and a little color tweaking.

Kraellin · #6 10-12-2005, 11:31 PM

catherine,

now that's a new style. i like it. and yes, i can see the stained glass effect. post a little more about what you did. i'm not asking for the complete workflow, just a general walk-thru. is organic edges a plugin or a feature in a program?

very colorful.

Craig, Organic Edges is a Flaming Pear plugin. I had the demo, loved it and finally got around to buying it ($39). It's mostly a toy for me, but occasionally I'll get a result that I use in layers for a more involved painting. I go to it especially when I have a batik look in mind. It's great with those. You may want to download the demo to see how you like it.

By coincidence about a week ago I downloaded this set of plugins (there are four in the Creative Pack), one of which is "Boss Emboss," which I'm finding comes in pretty handy for arty effects, too.

Here's an entry from our "let's see just how many different colors we can get in one image" file.

Based on an action I wrote + some depth via "Boss Emboss" plugin.

raniday · #12 10-13-2005, 03:43 PM

Wow! Danny, great effect, looks like soft chalk. I like the Boss Emboss filter as well.

Kraellin · #13 10-13-2005, 10:37 PM

thanks catherine. i think i have some of the other flaming pear plugs.

and the word 'batik' rings a bell, but i cant quite place it. what is it?

Steve, I love yours. I love the way the colors pop, the poster feel of it, the intensity, and, and everything. Please send details. I can see this done on a variety of otherwise mediocre pictures I have in my extensive file.

Kraelin, batik is a specialized dye process on fabric, which uses wax as a resist method. It is not tie-dye like you are probably thinking of, however. One usually sees batik on intricately patterned fabrics.

Hi Janet.

First, thanks much for the kind words.

Now, as to how I did it....hmmmmmm. It was a combination of Buzz Pro, Impressionist brush strokes, layered blend modes, with a few other things thrown in here & there.

I was in a trial and error mood and I just kept going till I had done about everything to it that I thought I could and then I stopped. 8-)

I ran Buzz Pro watercolor stack, then played with blend layers, and added some brush strokes from Impressionist. Can't remember specifics, but the things you mentioned liking in the image can be done with Buzz Pro and blends if you have this plugin.

If someone offered me big bucks to duplicate what I did, I am afraid I couldn't take them up on the offer.

Thanks again,

Steve
