Thought you might like to paint this peaceful lake scene.

Mine was done with the Pattern Stamp Tool. I painted a little, then ran a 400+ simple Buzz (1) filter on the painted layer. Kept adding layers this way with different brushes until I got to this and figured I'd best stop while the stopping was good. LOL

The sky was a bit mottled looking so I did a loose selection of it and then ran a motion blur on the selection.

Yet another great image from Swampy!

Equalized all channels to bring out more colour;
AHB with diferent brushes for focus / blur effects;
Extreme sharpen and applied lighting effect to make a glow to the left and to make the "paint" wetter.

duped the layer and ran it through snapart, impasto. duped that layer and ran it through dust and scratches to smooth it some. added a white layer mask and painted with varying applications of black and gray. merged, tinkered with levels and hue/saturation.

Hi all!

Swampy, this is an awesome photo! Everyone's version is great! One of the reasons I joined this site was because of the difference of styles that you can enjoy and learn from.

Here's my try. I was going for an Impressionist look. I'm not happy with the grass closest to the viewer, but I like the rest. As you can see, I got carried away and started adding trees and colors everywhere. I think by the time I quit, I had more of a Thomas Kinkade look instead of a Monet look! lol!

Anyway, thanks for the great photo to use!

Oooo... Cindy. That's Marvelous! It does have a Kinkade feel. And the colors that you've added to the trees etc. are just wonderful.

Pastellize set to Divide and a blending of Xero's Artworx filter for this one.

Another lovely photo Swampy. Thought that I'd give it a little go too, played around in Deep Paint, but played a lot more in Photoshop CS2.

Here's an experiment using both the PaintEngine and Impressionist plugins.

I get so excited looking at what every one has done!!!
I always come up with tons of ideas to try and techniques to learn

Not enough time in the day, that's for sure!

I must say Cindy, I am really enjoying your work. I'm not sure I believe you are a newbie

(that's supposed to be a compliment)

Anyway here's mine, done with Swampy's excellent Pattern Stamp Tool tute. I just discovered that Swampy, and boy did it teach me a lot! Thanks!
