Something a bit different.

duplicated background layer Xero line art - mono - sketch line = 8
a new layer between filled white - layer mask.
painted on mask with low opacity water paint brush to bring colour image out.
Ran impressionist on the mask - I didn't mean to do that but forgot to switch back to the image - like the result anyway.

Ran impressionist on the colour image as well.

Mine is based on a tutorial that makes creative use of the File > Automate > Picture Package function. The tutorial is available here (scroll down to "Warhol") :
http://www.planetphotoshop.com/peteback.html

I converted the steps into a Photoshop action plus added the slightly rotated and bent image on top. Unfortunately at low-res, the curved edges of the top image look pretty ragged, but at 300 ppi they're smooth.

The action is still pretty rough, but I'll post it for download once I tune it up a bit and make it a little more user friendly by including the display of hints and instructions.

I like your Warhol better than Warhol. Be sure and 'Holla' when you perfect the action.

Nice use of selective focus, W. Carlton! Nice "Warhol", Danny!

Bottom layer -> copy of original image, above that place a copy of the image's green channel using Color Burn layer blend, inverted the layer and reducing the opacity of the green channel layer to 80%. Then I ran the Texture -> Craquelure filter on the original image copy and faded the effect to show just a bit of the texture. Finally, I ran the Spatter filter on the green channel layer which brought back a bit more of the background with an effect that I liked.

poppies

This one got the buzz treatment, then a heavy cork texture and VP gothic, then a repaint of the blossoms.

Amy:

That's a very creative combination of effects. Nicely done.

Shari:

Yours is one of the best examples of a WC effect I've seen.

Would you provide some specific details on how you achieved this effect? I'm intrigued by the part Photoshop WC played, a filter I gave up on a long time ago.

Impressionist setting specifics, layer bland mode details, etc.

This is quite nice.

It's nice to work on a simple beautiful pic. Lots of great ideas so far!

Ran Find Edges 72% Fade: 90% Multiply blend mode. Did this exactly the same 3 times.
Solarized: Faded to 42%
Apply Image: Vivid Light 33%
Curves adjustment layer to brighten
Selective Colors: Intensified reds and yellows
Solarized: 25%
As a bonus, it looks like the Multiplying effects has pulled out a background texture.

Cheers
Dave

my humble try

first of all, i just freshly installed (1hr ago) PS7, and i'm a bit scared/frightened of it... i've been using PS4 till now, so it's like an elephant feeling, LOL... so, didn't come out as should, but hope you'll forgive me, wink ;-) wink (just the "history" pallete itself scares me a lot )

second of all, that's an absolutely gorgeous pic, really wonderful, and many great stylizations posted (i mean, all are great )...

third of all, my try - i wanted to make a watercolour that "preserves" the outta focus feeling, so i made a copy of background, erased from that copy everything but those orange flowers and some of the yellow ones, then i ran watercolor on the background, and dry brush (low details, medium texture) on the copy... and that's it... just that the dry brush left many white pieces on the copy, that needed to be erased/recoloured... (haven't accomplished that perfectly, as i said, a bit scared ;-) )

hope you'll like:
