Creative Interpretations: Old Barn (Grand Tetons)

[raniday]

Ok, I see what you're saying now, Danny. When I saw "toned down", I thought less color, but I agree about the smart blur lines. Actually, I did that layer another way first, running gaussian blur and then usm, but I didn't get a heavy enough line to make me happy, so I did it again and left it too ragged. What I will do next time is to draw the lines by hand w/ the pencil tool, not really that much more work, and I can get the kind of lines I want, so that it looks like a pen & ink drawing w/ a watercolor wash.

Jaykita, I like your watercolor a lot.

Nice old barn.

PSP7
Layer in B&W over original, erased some parts of the house and beams, added soft light from below, darkened total in gamma correction, and darkened and lightened here and there bits and pieces.

PSP8: buzz, edges>trace contour; One of the oil brushes on the original, forget which one, merged, softened the lines.
