Creative interpretations: Flowers - Roses on a Table

[DannyRaphael]

We haven't done flowers in a while, so let's give these a go.

Enjoy!

[Kraellin]

nice. thought i'd try the polar coordinates thing on it.

edit: and a variation on the technique, the second one.

[byRo]

craig, I liked the first one.
Inverted reality , flowers inside the bowl - sortta twisted stuff I appreciated.

Rô

[palms]

had fun with a couple of impressionist settings

Palms

[Kraellin]

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.

[Steve Conway]

Like the first one Palms.

Nice brush strokes.

[Steve Conway]

Flowers by Monet!

Monet Schwartz...owns a florist shop in NY.

Steve

[Steve Conway]

[Kraellin]

Been on an oil binge as of late. I started out using PS'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.

Thanks Craig and Steve I have been a bit slow on impressionist but am enjoying learning about it and its capabilities,
Craig i like both of yours i think this effect could run for ages very cool
Steve what are you using to get your effects ? especially liked the "not Monet "
Ikroll very nice i too have been looking into the cutout filter of late very interesting filter

Palms

[philbach]

Well I did this using Studio Artist 3.5. How? I don't remember.

[kiska]

Nice one Phil. TAKE NOTES TAKE NOTES TAKE NOTES!!!!!!!!

[OnAir]

This one should not look nice.

[Steve Conway]

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.

OnAir maybe it is a difference in language but over here It is a "snake in the grass" not in the "glass" very clever one

And another attempt by me, this time using the AHB, but this time with a brush that i had made, ( if you look closely you will see what shape i made the brush with )

Palms

ps thanks steve for info

[Steve Conway]

I thank you, Mr. Craig.

(See my message to Palms.)

Well, R/l riddle is more common for japanese people, as they have a 'ell of a time with R. Snake is known as an oriental symbol of wisdom, that's exactly as you told - 'clever'!
So, thank you very much for your refined compliment

Well, my first submission.....seems ok. I really wanted to try working from PS into Deep Paint and back again.

Steps: open in PS7, Impressionist--HotSwirl, send to DeepPaint.
Load original into Deep Paint, copy into a blank layer of image sent from PS.
Arrange source and clone layer (essentially copy from PS becomes clone layer); clone detail with medium brush (worked only on flowers and several selected edges. Send back to PS where I did some hue/sat adjustments, some levels tweaks, then flattened.

[Edit: that is not really clear. Opened the original into a window in Deep Paint. Modified image sent from PS was in another window in DP. Copied the original into a new blank layer in the modified image window. There might have been an easier way.]

Here are two of my interpretations. I use Photoshop Elements 2.0.

This is my first post. I'm not seeing my files attached but hopefully they'll show up when I submit...

Dottie: your attachments did not make it.

After you type your message, scroll down a little and you will see "Additional Options" and a box which says "Manage Attachments". Click this. You will get a popup box which has a "Browse" button and an "Upload" button. Click Browse, find your image file and click it. Then click Upload. If you have the correct allowable file type and the size is below the 100K max, then the window will show "Attachments" with the name and the file size. If you do not see that, it will not upload. If you see it, then Close the Window, complete your message, and click submit. Your attachment will show below your message. If you do not see "Attachments" with your file name, look at the top of the window. This is where an error message appears telling you what is wrong (file size too large, alrady uploaded the file (it keeps track), wrong file type).

Try again.

Craig i like both of yours i think this effect could run for ages very cool

palms, i agree. this and the kaleidoscope effects are both pretty addictive and sort of all-image type effects. you can use them on anything and the results are almost always interesting.

Dottie

[Kraellin]

[Legacy~Art]

Hi Craig thanks for the welcome back, i had trouble with a man, but all single now and better thanks!

How are you?

Thank you i haven't painted in months!

[palms]

ken and Didgidotte like your postings, and welcome
Legacy Art good to see you back was begining to wonder where everyone had gone

Palms

[Kraellin]

legacy,

sorry about the man trouble. we can be pains in the keister.

as to how i am, i'm still hopelessly frustrated at not being able to do everything i want with photo retouching and photo art, but compulsively addicted enough to want to be the 'god-of-it-all'. in other words, psychotic as ever

but all that aside, it's always good to see folks return to the nest

[raniday]

I cut the picture into little pieces, applied paint daubs and poster edges to them and then used Mike Warren's tryptic frame action and stuck them inside.

Hi, Dottie...

Welcome to the funny farm. Glad you found us and worked through the attachment maze. You have a unique style, which will fit right in.
