Creative interpretations: Madras Sales Woman

[DannyRaphael]

I guess we're on an international roll this week. Crete in another one; Madras in this one. Kinda makes you want to explore the world a bit -or- perhaps explore your backyard instead.

Have a good week.

Decided to just run Pixel Painter on this one. Added a vanGogh texture pattern.

I started with my mixed bag action (Lower layer is impressionist custom preset crackeld paint followed by paint engine bad brush, upper layer is a buzz sketch followed by impressionist crackledpaint and paint engine-borg), then topped it with a gaussian blur sketch. Merged it all and played with some nik filters to beef up the color intensity.

Catia, what is the Pixel Painter that you refer too? Is it a plugin, a stand alone, or something else?
Loved the outcome, no matter what it is.

Paris,

Thanks for the complement. I appreciate it.

Pixel Painter is a PS action written by Mike Finn.

Well, folks it has been a long time so bare with me. You have learned a lot since I have been away. Hence I have a lot of catching up to do, but here is my humble try.

Say Cheese,
Lynda

[lglogan]

Here is another attempt. This was done very simply with PhotoBrush 1.7 using the Oil Emboss filter and the Filter-sim #21 Kodak filter.

It's SO NICE to see you creations. You definitely haven't lost your touch.

Welcome home and welcome back, Lynda.

I've been at another forum where everything seems cartoony. I had been using several programs, but when Paintshop Pro 8 came out I really haven't used anything else. If that makes me ineligible for this forum, please let me know. I hope not, because what I've seen so far of your work here, this is where I'd like to be.

I took the lady from Crete and added a texture and then a leather texture and softened it a bit.

I see that this is a MADRAS woman, not a CRETE woman....

Hello again Amy,

No tools rules here. I use PSP8 some myself. There are some things I like PS7 for and some I like to do in PSP8.

Nice rendition.

Hello Amy:

What a great way to get started here. A BIG Welcome!

Creating photo-art using PSP is perfectly acceptable. I have PSP 7 myself and dabble with it every now and then. (I got Corel Painter last summer, so I'm still getting used to that at the moment.)

I see you've posted a couple more creations, and I'm looking forward to checking them out, too.

Just finished checking out your other posts. Outstanding work!

You're a breath of fresh air!

Gave this one a try.

Three layers - background; paint engine artic, about 60% opacity; paint engine impressionist 2, also about 60% opacity. Added a solid fill layer with a color chosen from the picture, and painted with a dry brush.

Then, copy merged and paste to get a new layer. Finally, chose the solid color, feathered slightly, and filled to soften the edges. Added a texture, and voila! it's done.

ok, where'd the image go?

FYI: If you preview the text, the attachment path is erased and has to be repopulated before posting the image. Software quirk! Nice results. ~Danny~

try again . . .

[catia]

Nice result Patricia. I like the way you did the background. Good choice of color also.

dredging the archives again.....

I first adjusted contrast (flattened a bit) and then colors (increased saturation).

Next, I applied PaintEngine: Soft Mosaic a few times.

Viola!

In some cases (like this one) "Dredging is good!"

I had to dust off PE and check out that setting. It was one I hadn't tried before. I like it a lot! Sure works nice on this pic.

So I started messing with it...

Then I started tweaking PE results further with Impressionist. I've been playing for the past 45 minutes and it's all your fault, Jeff. Thank you!

Anyone know what she is selling. Looks like it could be apples, oranges, maybe pears. Doesn't really matter, I guess.

This picture simply screamed "paint me"
All done in Artrage2 (ofcourse ..did I mention that I love Artrage? )

Enjoy..

[palms]

Nice painting Drach, interesting subject, the painting that is not your love life

A fun photo to work on... thanks!

Did some color shifting to get more color into the fruit, t-shirt and sari.

Various textures and blendings.

I didn't realise how old this thread was but never mind, I worked on this image as I liked it and I wanted to post my version so here goes... someone may see it!

[mikajomc]

It doesn't matter that it's an old thread Kim, paint any of them you like. This is lovely, I really like the soft blue color.

Thanks for the compliment Jordan. It looks like I have given new life to an old thread, well deserved too as this is a lovely image to paint.

[Alcar]

Interesting image and some great interpretations.
