Creative Portraits: Mother & Daughter

This is my friend Tina and her daughter.

Show me what you can do in painting, chalk, watercolor, something amazing.

Please also keep the pictures for private artist sites, no commercial.

Thank you

Ella

Used Liquify, Paint Engine -- Oil Angles, and an emphasis on earth tones.
Kind of takes them from the U. K. to the S. W. (southwest -- U. S.)

Here is mine, although its a huge picture i have tried to reduce it in size.

I did this in painter 9.

Impressionist plugin play.

Adjusted the brightest/contrast and color a bit first. I then duplicated, added some noise and ran Flaming Pear's Pixel Trash filter and set a duplicate of the original on the top layer and set it to color. I then flatten and ran various Impressionist presets to get the effect that you see (sort of a rough illustration look). Hope you all like it.

Thanks for the fun Ella. I used PaintEngine for my try at this one.

Re: Creative Portraits: Mother & Daughter

Ella - Here are a couple of ideas

The first one is a watercolor type effect

The second is a painted portrait effect
