Another try at working towards an old world look. When/If I ever get it completely figured out, I'll post some real how tos. In the meantime, I'm certainly enjoying the process.

P.S. Danny, this is the FIRST one I did in Painter.

Janet, thats a lovely rendition you have there, amazing stuff !!

May i ask you a question ? When you say OLD WORLD, can you explain exactley what you envision ? I have an idea myself but would like you to clarify...it has me intrigued.

Janet, I like your rendition here even better for an "old world" look. Maybe it's the old world subject?

Neve, a great image to work with. Thanks. (Sort of... I was gonna go to bed, but I saw this and had to have a go at it.) Created a new backdrop in Elements2 then Painter8 SmearyBristle Cloner. I left the painting a bit rough and actually roughened it a bit more with the Blenders>GrainyBlender.

Marvellous result Janet for your first go in Painter! Can't wait to see what you come up with next...

Well done also Mark (who should be snoring by now?). I thought this image would be a good one with the definition in colour and character evident in her face.

Janet, I love your painting rendition! Wonderful feel and look.

Janet and Mark, these are wonderful.
Axle, I want to thank you for posting the Painter tutorial. It's so detailed and clear. Painter 7 (which I understand isn't the best) has been sitting on my hard drive for 2 years, thought I couldn't live without it, and I've hardly opened it, but your tutorial might just get me going!

Well done you gave it the authentic realism look...And your new at the painter too, (ahem...I opened the trial, played, closed it and ran from it).

Painter IX:
Photoshop:

Used the Bristle Brush Cloner, then imported into Photoshop to do colour correction and lighting effects.

Talk about a lifetime of toil! I wish I could see her hands. Dodged her creases. Selected her face and parchment and old film plugins. Inverted and ran MF Watercolor and MF pOpArTiSt actions. Lightened her eyes.
She may have been a beauty when she was young, but she had to do what she had to do.

Cheers
Dave
