Just what I needed today. A beautiful photo to paint!

I did a line art sketch then ran Distort>glass and then a Stylize>Diffuse>Anasotropic. Set this to color burn. Used Topaz Simplify, Buzz to really push the colors around, lightened the colors slightly and saved as a pattern. Applied PST over a canvas of white and under the line art layer. Used my watercolor brush at about 30% opacity to paint back color.

Swampy, love your simplified version, looks soft and beautiful. I have posted some more today, so have a look if you are still in paint mood.

i used a watercolour technique ( cant remember what it is called but if Ol Baldy looks in I am sure he knows which one but i will try and find the link ) followed by a touch of adjust ( didnt crash this time) and a paper texture

My try as a painting....

amica999 · #10 03-31-2009, 11:32 AM

Some great works here...
Lyle, wouldn't have thought of a night scene with this one, maybe because I can't wait to see those bright summer days after this loooong time in the dark

Nicely processed.

Frate, lovely
Manta, powerful color play

Alan, you a always good for a surprise

Wild and colorful, sure know where to put your brushstrokes. Well done

I have tried a more "conventional" look, but on the bright sight

Nice one, Joe. Like the flip, looks more interesting

Amica, a good shot for play.
And few color spots from me

Hi everyone, I am interested in doing any kind of photoshop works.

AHB version

Sylvia, Vitali, glad you like the photo, I don't have any idea where that is, though, my guess would be south France....Like both of your versions very much...

skipatk · #19 04-04-2009, 06:15 AM

Another watercolor rendition

amica999 · #20 04-04-2009, 03:49 PM

Nice one, Skip

Impressionist version

amica999 · #22 04-06-2009, 10:17 AM

Very nice Alex, may I ask what did you use?

alexmeta · #23 04-06-2009, 07:53 PM

Thanks, amica999. Don't remember exactly how I did it, but I used Impressionist plugin and Photoshop filters.
