| | thanks Ro
that is an interesting technique. i like the second one also, but mostly because it reminds me of some blown glass art i've seen, which i also liked.
palms,
love the actual flowers in that second one! love that impressionist can capture the essence without the actual form/substance.

| | | Oil on canvas. Been on an oil binge as of late. I started out using Photoshop's cutout tool in conjuction with Danny's djroil24 (but set the modify color option in Impressionist). I blended in Plastic Wrap and saved the result. Opened it up in GIMP for bumpmap and canvas work. The full High quality rendering is here. Attached is a cropped lower quality version.  |

| | Thank you Palms.
The first one...(Monet)... is all Gertrudis Pro.
Now, as for the "Not Monet", I started out with Gert, didn't like it, added a layer and blends, didn't like it, added some Buzz, didn't like that either. So after about a half hour, or so it seemed, of layering and filtering the end result was this. I can only call it a conglomeration. And that's being kind.
