No Painter used, have classic but can't get round it!!!!
Pixelated twice, then used Xaos Paint plugin and then added texture.

Used Painter Oils- mainly wet brush. Finished with Impasto Oil and Fine Hard grain paper.

I don't have painter (yet) so I did this with PS. First I cloned in the flowers that were off the edge, then i used some filters to give it some texture.
I used water color and paint daubs. then added a background with textures.
add noise, then bevel and embose then some motion blur. Too much to remember. I also cloned some of the flowers onto the edge and set the blend mode to screen.

-resized bigger and cropped to focus on just a couple flowers
-added contrast
-copied the background and made a variety of layers with colors and effects I liked..
difference clouds, an Impressionist watercolor, lineart, and one layer I'm not sure what I did! saved this as a photoshop file with all the layers.

-opened in Painter and cloned, first clearing the canvas to white.
-painted a number of layers with a variety of watercolor brushes (set to clone), going back to the original photoshop file hiding and adjusting merge modes to paint from, depending on what I wanted to add to the watercolor painting.
-dropped all layers, equalized added somemore texture and cropped again.

[barbara]

I used Gimp : blended some simplified (by erode, dilate, selective
Gaussian blur, posterize) layers, bumped (to imitate oil painting)
and then added a touch of canvas texture in some places only

Hi ya'll ....Long time no see!!!!!

Ok here goes. I had to have a shot at this contest.

I used PSP v8 for this and nothing else. I started by resizing the image Danny posted for use. Once I had that finished I ran a color sketch script I made a few years ago. Next I used a custom paint brush effect I made up then once I had that finished I desided to see what it might look like if I added a custom pincel effect I created. Ok and after all this I desided that it might add a little more by giving the plain white background a little something so I click on the brush tool and selected a custom marble brush and set the color to a lite gray and added a little hump to the background.

Last I added the black edge and saved for posting here.

Enjoy,
TwoLaidBack

Congratulations to Nancy (Nanls) , our picked at random winner.

I noted sylvia1065's comment, "...I'm waiting for my prize to learn Painter."

Since I have an extra copy of Jeremy's book, I'm going to send that one to her as inspiration to take the Painter leap.

Have fun.
