Sylvia, very interesting brush-strokes-effect

and here the Gimp version - the imitation of watercolor

[Northernshadow]

I just love lilies! funny though... when I ordered a bulk mix for my garden I pulled out all the orange ones because they didn't go with the color scheme

Palms, great smudge, I love the think paint
Patricia, really cool look, almost metallic!
JonnieB, nice soft petals
Oltenius I like the subtle color in the flower
Swampy, really cool effect, I like the way the pencil looks like it is painted over
Steve, the toned down colors make this work great on your 1st and your next does look WILD!
Sylvia, that is lovely
Barbara, I love the way your flower petals came out in your watercolor, nice and soft!

Here's mine, done in painter with oil and watercolor brushes

Thank you...not many people have the appreciation that we do for bonkers.

Thanks...sometimes "wild" works when you can't come up with anything clever.

Palms,
I can't recall exactly what I used on this picture, but I probably used some layers of Fluff Paint : The Old Master, since I really like this one.
Also, I smudged the whole thing after applying the Impressionist layer. For smudging, I used a brush called Hair 34. I don't remember where I downloaded it from, but can send it to anybody interested in it.
If you are, let me know quickly, I'm leaving Canada in a few days and will be gone for a few months.

Nothernshadow, I like your picture and the subtle texture is great !
(is it a standard texture in Painter or made by yourself ?)

Steve Conway, great colours and nice effect

Other version, now made as an oil imitation (with more wild colours )

I used Gimp

[Steve Conway]

Thanks, and you didn't do so bad yourself. And with Gimp and Linux.

I'm very impressed.

Couldn't resist another try at a smudge (it's all new and different to me)
Not sure about this one.....I think I'll have another tinker tomorrow....nice pickies tho'....John

Barabara another nice painting i really like the wildness these photo's are bringing out

John i wouldn't tinker around too much i personally really like this version, and the smudging is coming on great

Because retouching a photo is not only altering it.... but enchancing it also!

Thanks for the comments!

Barbara, I made it myself, if you would like it just email me

John, like your smudge!
