| | Terrific.... Wonderful job on that Danny....the first thing it reminded me of was the similarity to my grandsons attempts at colouring in.
Cheers |

| | | I spent a lot of time on this one, results maybe don't reflect this, but I guess it's good enough to share at least from a learning perspective.
Elements2: Image>Transform>Perspective to straighten the architecture. Many masked curve layers to get some decent color and contrast. Then...
Painter8: Cloning using various brushes from the Acrylics category. Worked from background to foreground, large areas to details as per "proper" painting technique. I added some hand painted shadowing to the clouds to try and give them some life. The ThickAcrylicFlat10 brush provide the 'thick paint' texture to the castle. This brush makes great mountains from scratch (per a tutorial I've been playing with), but maybe isn't that good a cloner. Also, it left little 'pin-holes' that I had to fix back in Elements.

| | | Thank you so much for sharing this picture!
I love everyone's work! And I am SO jealous of the painted looking ones! Jaykita, I seriously think if I were to touch my computer screen I could FEEL it!
Here is my go at it. No paint treatments, just mood-ifying the image. lol
I wasnt exactly sure where I wanted to go at first, so I just played. Ended up making some selective adjustments to the sky and castle with curves and levels, colorized for the sepia, and added a black to clear gradient at the top and bottom set to overlay. |
