Flowers anyone?

amica999 · #1 09-07-2009, 02:55 PM

I took some pics today and thought I'd share some of the flowers...
Have fun

Thanks for sharing, beautiful flowers. I did the same for both images. Removed low level noise, enhanced details, made a focal point and finished up with Impressionist for a paint effect. Of the two I like how the red flower came out.

Very creative, Jack, and I do like it...and you are completely right...don't do paintings...never ever..they are so addictive...

For me, this one cried out for an OOB.

Thank you! I'm trying to starting to look for hints of color and paint them onto another layer. My layers got a little out of hand though - think there were 18 before I flattened it!

Please don't slap me Amica. lol

lkroll · #12 09-10-2009, 09:05 PM

Thought I better do this version before I get the slap. lol

0lBaldy · #13 09-10-2009, 09:24 PM

Thanks for the play Amica!

Tried a simple water color...

amica999 · #14 09-11-2009, 12:43 AM

Oops, Lyle, do I seem to be so violent? Now why should I even think of slapping you? your first is - unusual - but it would surprise me if it weren't, it now looks so "knotty", must admit though that I like your second one better, love how you treated the leaves..

Nice soft watercolor, OB, like that on these soft filigran flowers.

lkroll · #15 09-11-2009, 12:49 AM

Good that you didn't see the skulls. lol

Hahaha, what an idea.....

Yeah; been on a macabre binge of late (just channeling my inner Giger; lol). First it was spiderwebs, now look what I'm doing. lol

amica999 · #18 09-11-2009, 11:26 AM

Just uploaded some flowers taken this week. Have fun....

Was playing with the new DAP-version...looks like some fun...

MiningArt · #20 09-11-2009, 02:57 PM

Really nice flowers amica999, I picked this one for a try.

1.Assign color profile, sRGB color space for the web.
2. Removed noise. This removed the minor detail.
3.Applied four dups in darken mode each one pixel off in the four directions. This is what brought out the lines and detail.
4.Made a focal point left center to the flower.
5.Painted using PaintEngine.

Thank you, John, what did you use? Looks a little like Snap Art..I like how you preserved the highlights, especially in the leaves.

MiningArt · #22 09-11-2009, 03:30 PM

Thanks, I had to google SnapArt to see what it was. I put the details in my post with the image.

Kraellin · #23 09-11-2009, 10:48 PM

a little filter work...

MiningArt · #24 09-11-2009, 11:02 PM

Craig, I really like your first one, beautiful colors.

Kraellin · #25 09-11-2009, 11:34 PM

and here's one done all in psp.

Kraellin · #26 09-11-2009, 11:34 PM

thanks, john

lkroll · #27 09-12-2009, 12:31 AM

Waxy; lessons learned though my Giger binge applied in a different way (no skulls; lol).

Thanks for the workflow, John, nifty idea

Craig, you sure know how to use filters effectively, lovely metals and nice psp-version

Lyle, that looks great, even without skulls
