I've wanted to try something old world looking for a long time. This is the first time I've played around with it that I felt I could post the results. Created entirely in Photoshop with Impressionist settings, Ina was a good subject and sat very still whilst I painted her portrait for posterity.

P.S. Thanks Axle for pushing me into this, albeit somewhat vicariously through your tutorial in Painter. Good work BTW.

Amazing work here, it's marvellous to see different 'styles' emerging...talent abounds.

I really didn't get too artistic with this one but did create a levels adjustment layer and set the blend mode to screen. I then created a color balance adjustment layer to lose some of the blue in her face.

I dodged the eyes and saturated them a bit.
To finish it up...I thought she would look prettier with a smile.

Jeff -- nice work! The smile looks real to me, and the overall look is excellent.

SWEngineer · #22 01-21-2005, 09:32 PM

Janet, Well done. (Although it's curious the "Paint" layer in your palette looks empty.)

I've tried a couple times for an 'old world' look without much success. Which layer(s) do you think provided the look in yours?

Jeff, I love the smile. I should have used your image for my base.

Here's a Painter8 sketch using the Cloners>ChalkCloner on the Sketchbook paper variant. I started with some color correction in Elements2. Ended by added a few strokes freehand to represent the towel (which wasn't cloning well). Somehow, I feel I've lost most her childness. Any ideas what's missing or needs removed to bring the child back?

Say no more......

Axle, again I'm impressed by your work. You do amazing stuff to a >100 kb picture, or two, or three....

She really looks like she belongs on the cover of National Geographic.

Sometimes less is more. I, too, like that hint of a smile. I hope you'll share more of your subtle manipulations with us in the future.
