Creative interpretations: Wind Surfer

I tried this back in 1982. It looks a lot easier than it really is.

I've always liked this technique, Manju. Have you ever written a tutorial describing how you get these stroke effects? They are just outstanding.

Thx Danny & jaykita
This was done using PS and history brush and finally running one of trimoon's lighting effect (trim's lighting .atn also gives the same result somehow)

But I believe you are interested more on the strokes.
1. Open the image and make a snapshot for later use of history brush.
2. Duplicate the layer {now here is the trick}
3. On the duplicate layer run blur>motion blur>
Settings: Angle 90, Distance 999 will give you a nice stroke effect
4. USM and then brush strokes>spatter
5. From here possibilities are unlimited
Distort>wave and fade wave in different modes..
Drybrush>and fade drybrush in different modes..
6. Then I painted with art history brush

I will try to put up a detailed tute if anyone interested
