Thank you Palms. The image just seemed to have enough and not too much detail to really make a nice piece of artwork.

I pumped up the colour using the channel mixer, blending in overlay or multiply modes, not sure which now, reduced opacity slightly. Then did a little diffuse glow with gaussian blurs and such like. I was planning to leave it there but it started to remind me of the paintings my mother did when I was a child, so I used Dave's Simplifier Action, and played around with the blend modes in the luminosity layer and the simplifier layer, to just give it the feeling of a painting.

Critique and feed back most welcome...

A belated welcome, Beth. Glad you lept into the pool.

By "first time at these forum thingies," do you mean this was your first shot at doing an arty manipulation or uploading your artwork? Regardless, I like how yours turned out.

re: rules of engagement
Ya did just fine here, too. While the "how to" details aren't a hard requirement, providing them is encouraged and appreciated, especially by the newbies and/or lurkers who are just getting into this sport.

I hope we'll be seeing more of your creativity in the future.

Lyle, I am really impressed - this "floating acrylic" looks great !
(sometimes less means more )

I hoped to make a colour pencils drawing, the result is not exactly what
I wanted, but I think this can be a good direction..

I used Gimp

[Kraellin]

patricia,

well, i still think it looks like a paint by the numbers

To barbara: that almost looks like a crayon sketch; very nice. In response to your comment, that's why it's sometimes called simplication. The art is to remove as much detail as possible and yet still dicypher what it is.

To Craig: man that's too much. You have too much time on your hands. lol

[Kraellin]

lk,

Barbara...Like your sketch look....there are so many different sketch looks and its quite difficult to find the one that is just pefect for us...i keep playing with that look too and feel i have a way to go before i find the perfect one for me...

Craig....What can i say...paint with numbers it is now...new career eh?????


Patricia....
