assorted tulips in a metal bucket

Feel free to paint or post-process this however you choose. Please do not rehost the original. Your edits are your work and you are free to post them where ever you like. You are welcome to add your interpretations of this image to my Flickr group. All I ask is attribution.

Grant - I want a print on canvas of that on my wall! So pretty
Lyle - Whoa! Nice. Have you seen the work of Ben Heine? Or is his digital circlism the source of your current interest?

Re: assorted tulips in a metal bucket

Been trying to emulate him, on and off, for over a year. Just did this one of Phyllis that I'm getting happier with the result. Ben's result may never be replicated, but he himself admits that it takes hours to do his renders. My effort only takes 10s of minutes (mainly since my PC is slow to run the filters necessary to do the color fill).

Re: assorted tulips in a metal bucket

Hi - My first post here, this is such a great photo I couldn't resist 'painting' it. After making a screened copy of the original I ran it thru 'find all edges' and blended that with the original using lightness layer mode. Adjusted it in curves and then applied a slight surface blur. I use Serif's PhotoPlus X4.

Nice one! Reminds me of a design painted on fine china.

Re: assorted tulips in a metal bucket

Another try at a watercolor. Was wondering if you thought one was better, or are they just different? (Re-attached first try for easier comparison)

Re: assorted tulips in a metal bucket

Loona - they're all nice but I like the golden one the best. I'm very partial to yellow. :-)

Skip - yes, the second one is a bit more refined/less saturated

Re: assorted tulips in a metal bucket

Loona, all 3 are great! I like the first one best as it just seems to draw me in a bit more with the full view and I like the softer feel.

Skipatk - They are both nice but I like the second one more because it seems to have more energy and depth.
