| | Poster Edges works well on that pic, Twin. I replaced the background, did a little brushwork in Painter, then used some of the Artistic filters in PS. |

| | | Painter is so frustrating, my second painting from Painter. Probably more a deficiency in the user, than the program here. |

| | Thanks for another great pic to play with Cat
Nancy, your watercolour technique gives this a lovely soft & light look. Really nice.
Fixed colour, enlarged and some smudging in PS then over to Painter, mostly using Petal Oils brush with some Soft Wet Acrylic and Captured Bristle.

| | | This is soooo beautiful, Pam. You've mentioned the Petal Oils brush before. Where did you get this brush? |

| | Thanks Cat, I downloaded it somewhere. I've had a look around and found it MUCH quicker than I thought I would ! http://homepage.ntlworld.com/david.g..._Brushes2.html
The Petal Oils brush is part of the Oils Drip collection.
