Cant tell which one of you is worse

but with the coats on it does have a bit of a lowry feel to it

palms

not familiar with 'lowry'. what is that?

also, the more i look at this pic, the more i like it. it has sort of an early 20th century or even 19th century look and feel about it (and that's including with the coats

).

Craig
LS Lowry was a English painter known for his northern (england) scenes and for painting "matchstick men" have included a link to one web page give it a look and you will see what i meant by a Lowry feel

Tried for an engraved look here.

PSP X

A layer of Picture man's hand drawing Merged with an Impressionist layer to bring back colour.

Palette changed to one I took from a Canaletto painting.

Regards to all,

palms, lowry, ok. and here i thought it was going to be some british english thing like 'loo' or 'lift'

mitch, nice. sort of grainy and aged but in a good way. i like how the reds bring out the building more.

Thanks Craig,

I don't know if its on your list but i've been playing with the 'image repainter' plugin from Imageskill. Its ideal for PSP as you can instantly change the palette on the picture you're working on to one from any photo or painting on you hard drive.

The Big ben pic is simply a graphic line layer over a faded original, flattened then the palette changed to one from the original pic, fade set to about 70.

The second one is a strip from your 3,5 promile pic - palette from a chalk pic on my hard drive. This gives a really old faded look.

Image Repainter Here.

Regards to all,
Mitch.

mitch, very cool on the big ben. just looked at that link. that's a pretty cool plugin. i like the results there. almost like a displacement map but doing it with the palette. interesting idea and shld have a lot of uses.

I thought I'd join the 'Hallmark' saga.

Footprints added, plus more blue to the snow.
Palette taken from a snow scene on the Image Repainter site.

It's even more Lowryesque now.

Regards to all,
Mitch.

hehehe, i love it, mitch. we shld do more of these. i preferred the bluer sky, but love the footsteps

progressive contribution works can be fun.

ok, i took mitch's piece and redid the sky a bit for more blue. i also redid the snow on the building a bit. was sort of haphazard before.

if someone would care to add a horse and carraige i think we could pass this off as a currier and ives or a lowry

Mitch:-I love it, you're as daft as we are!!!! Could it be the brit sence of humour? I coldn't resist just a quickie....John

palms1 · #44 08-02-2006, 01:41 PM

OK to be more in with a lowry feel the London eye would have to go (not around in his time) but great results
Love how you all are working together and having fun

The British sense of humour might explain Britsdad and Mitch BUT what about Craig ?
