I have to thank you, Danny, for turning me onto Impressionist. I ran that filter on the pic in Charcoal, with brush size at 100. Then for definition I added another layer with xero lineart, buzzed, for more definition, and merged the two together. Then added a tiny guassian blur.

I'm ceratinly no expert yet at impressionist, but I love to play with it.

Beautiful photo.

Amy--that's a really nice combo of filers. It's a great look.

I used the procedure in the try-it challenge here http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/photo-art-resources/8200-try-playing-history-brush.html with a buzz based sketch.

I duplicated image, inverted and reduced 50%. Copied and pasted slightly off register. Ran MF Watercolor.

Cheers

Did a little palette knife on the foreground flowers from Corel Painter 8. Ran cutout, palette knife filters on fore and backgrounds. Blends.

Hello everyone. This i would like to share with you...discovered it quite by accident, and i think it makes a great watercolor effect.
Filters-other-minimum-fresco-unsharp mask-color replacer (if necessary.)Thats all. Pretty simple, huh??

Hello all,
Everyone has done justice to the nice image I believe!
Here's my contribution

I would like to post 2 images, one with the impressionist filter. I got this mostly by "screen" blending with the sketch layer. However, initially i was trying out trimoon's watercolor tutorial.

jaykita--the shift to pastels really does something for this image. It gets a WOW in my book--great job.
