Creative Interpretations - Suspension bridge

It is a suspension bridge through the river Sura in my town.
And my play.

I'm not real artistic, I would like to be so I keep trying. I tried to get the feel of a renaissance sepia, sanguine, and charcoal drawing on a cream paper. I kinda like it.

Re: Creative Interpretations - Suspension bridge

Creative and inspiring interpretations so far. Well done, all.

Crazy: Half the battle of becoming "artistic" is in your head. Everyone is artistic; it's just a matter of degree and practice. Keep on experimenting and having fun.


Vitaly - could you post or PM me a full link to your gallery. My security software blocks TinyURL links. Your WC look is sensational.

- - - - -

I am still struggling, learning and having fun with Painter. Considering I started out trying for "a watercolor look" you can see how far I have to go.

Newbie Re: Creative Interpretations - Suspension bridge

Here is my rendition. Used three Topaz filters, then into Photoshop CS4 and used did some color changes, thence to an action for making old cracked wall paintings.

I used a plug-in called "Splat!" by Alien Skin but Splat! Has Been Discontinued.

"Effective February 2008, Spat! will no longer be available. While we always regret the passing of a longtime friend, the hard cruel facts of life dictate that we devote our time, energy, and world-class talents to our more popular products. This also gives us time to make even more new cool stuff for you.

Alien Skin will continue to support Splat! ‘as is’ through the end of 2008. Alien Skin will not offer any further development or version updates to the Splat! title.."

The texture I used was "Perfect Skin"

Sorry I could not be of more help Gunner!

Re: Creative Interpretations - Suspension bridge

I've had a few really nice comments about my try. Thank you for that. It really was a lot of fun. Sometimes, these challenges are perfect for closing myself in my office at lunch and getting lost in something completely unrelated to work.

Many nice renditions. I hand colored the photo and than used a hand sketch plug-in, then added canvas texture.
