| | | Re: Creative Interpretations - Houses in a Row Alan, you are the master of watercolor!  
So, what brush did you use? It's so nice and "washy". |

Alan | There are so many brushes and plugins and software that say "watercolor" that don't come close to looking like it. I am happy to finally see one that REALLY looks like a "done from scratch" watercolor. Just great Alan! At least two thumbs up on this one.
Looks like you would get your fingers wet if you touched it.

| | | Re: Creative Interpretations - Houses in a Row I'm with you, Steve - you have to wonder sometimes if the people who produce some of these 'watercolor' tools have ever actually seen a watercolor.
Alan, you really nailed it. I'd love to know how you did it.
Mine's Buzz and Impressionist. |

| | | Re: Creative Interpretations - Houses in a Row Alcar - I don't want to know how you do it, because I still wouldn't be able to mimic it,  but I love it and agree that it looks really water-colored.
Mine's a mix of many things -- |

| | | Re: Creative Interpretations - Houses in a Row Believe I saw this same picture on another site, it had a moon, stars, snow and a sled added for a totally different look.
It's a great pic. |

| | | Re: Creative Interpretations - Houses in a Row Thanks to all who made comments on my watercolor. If I can get this type of look on another image, I'll post a workflow. Swampy, my brushes this time were from the photoshop wet brushes group.
