Creative Interpretations - Pastel Buildings

[Swampy]

A great street scene for you to paint.

[Alcar]

Interesting challenge. This interpretation was painted in photoshop using the art history brush and buzz. Alan

...work. A watercolor on textured canvas maybe.

[Mining Art]

Melting buildings, line contour laid over color enhance original, wrap effect, add sun, paint brushed around a bit. There was a lot of color to play with.

[0lBaldy]

A very tranquil setting..
Thanks for the play Swampy

[palms]

Thought I'd have a quick go at this one...

[Steve Conway]

Looks like something out of Disney.

Peter- like the relief on yours
Kim- very nice, love the bright colors
Steve- you're right, it does look like something from a Disney movie, nice illustrative look on yours

Mine is gertrudis & Photoshop, I think that was all. (I did it late last night )

Lovely versions!!! I especially like yours, Steve. Another one done with no extra plugin?
I used my tutorial 5A + some impressionist layers.

Agreed! Steve's rendering is right on taget.

I did a few versions, but I liked best the last one.
Anyone guess the filter?

Yep.

Three duplicated layers.
Choose a nice foreground colour.
Run Note Paper, one with image balance at 10, another at 25 and the last at 40.
Combined by layer opacity.
- Bottom 100%
- Middle 50%
- Top 33%
(This combines equally the three layers)

so many great renditions, so little time

i hadnt 'just painted' in quite a while... i do a lot of airbrushing when doing restorations, but i hardly do any when doing photo art. thought i'd change that for once

[Swampy]

Air brushing sorta rounds off the corners of shapes like buildings. I never noticed that.. good one Craig and, BTW welcome "back" to the "painters" <wink>

[Kraellin]

yes, it does round corners. i was also going for a bit of sloppiness/overrun where the one color would bleed into the other a bit... just a bit here and there. every different color was done on a separate layer and i used an eraser set very light to 'wipe' away what i didnt want. it's a fun and easy technique and makes 'simplifying' an image kinda easy.

and thanks, dee dee
