| | | Married Impressionist and Eye Candy for this piece. This Gouche watercolor was created mainly using KentC's Cezanne and Eye Candy with Jiggle preset.

| | | Did a bit of cropping on this one. Seemed a bit "busy" to me. Hence the highlighting of the flowers.

| | | Great stuff here! A fun picture to work on, Danny!
Posterized, Threshold (faded and set to soft light or color burn/dodge .. I can't remember). Did lots of stuff to soften and mottle the background.
Hue/Sat adjustment layer to bring up the flowers then painted them in on the mask. |
