I'm pretty sure I'm going to be left behind in the Painter race track. So far all I've managed is to go through the entire brush library one stroke at a time. Back to the painter canvas for me. This is SO much fun!

There are so many great interpretations in this thread ! Here's my humble effort. I wanted it to look like like a watercolour and I think I did pretty well. I concentrating on just using PSCS's own filters to learn more about how to use them, mainly smart blur and the art history brush. Added my own texture and liked it so much I framed it

[Neve]

Welcome Pam, it's always great to see a new face

I'd be proud of this result too, super result and love the frame.

I think you did terrific, myself and can see why you were deservedly pleased with the results.

Bravo.

Thanks !! This really is very addictive and LOTS of fun !

Neve - I can't take credit for the frame, it's one from PSP, there are some great ones and saves having to make them myself !

[Neve]

Yes Pam...I recognised the frame, been using PSP for years and the frames that came bundled with PSP8 were welcomed.

Reminds me of a beautiful place in Whitby UK my first date with my boyfriend...

Ok i looked along here and saw all the different types of pictures, and decided to explore photoshop alittle more...

Came across this...

Adobe curves give it a fuller color
then go into Adobe Filter to Texture and then to Patchwork

Then in psp i added a needle and cotton tube and then added shadow.

Something different!

I was going in one direction then completely changed my mind great village photo

Ok as i was "managing attachments" i noticed that the file name was Staithes which is by Whitby, now Danny says he believes the village is in France anybody out there have any answer as to which it is ? confused

Wanted to try this; I really don't know what I'm doing other than just "playing" right now.

Thanks Palms! There's so much to learn and it "sticks" better if I'm having fun learning. I really, really liked your rendition and was trying to duplicate what you had done but, ended up somewhere else .

That's another common one going somewhere else, but you are right having fun is the best way to learn, next problem is remembering how you done it

if you are interested i used the technique in this tutorial

( dont worry about all the fiddly bits yet get the gist and then come back to the rest, again its more fun when you are getting results )

Great Photo for a pen and ink with wash.

I first did this using my line art sketcher method and tweaked that. Then made the result a pattern and painted back with the pattern stamp brushes. This kind of look is rather radical for me, but I'm coming to like the loose splotchiness (is that a word) that I can achieve with various brushstrokes and textrue.
