| | | Re: Creative Portraits: Red Headed Beauty photomaster, thank you, btw, for posting the image. lovely picture, lovely woman.
and i also very much like your original rendition. you have a combination there, of sharpness and softness which i find very appealing.
and, thanks for the link. i tried it out. it seems to only work on photoshop and not psp. it crashed psp when i ran it from there. seems like a good piece of software. simple interface, very intuitive and did a nice job on the image i tried with it. |

| | | Magenta hair. Still experimenting with various simplication techniques. Cat (other forum) started a theme thread concerning Gradients which I see lot's of potential for certain abstract renderings. Used a multi-color gradient to start things off and did some other things too. |

| | | Re: Creative Portraits: Red Headed Beauty It's been ages since I've played with Impressionist, forgot how much fun it it is!
this is 4 layers starting with a large chalky brush then progressivly shrinking the brush and masking out unwanted detail. |

| | | Re: Creative Portraits: Red Headed Beauty Gave myself ten New York minutes and came up with this..maybe I can put a little more time into it later! Beautiful portait to begin with; in a way, I hated to alter it.
Buzz simplifier and pure colour on the first layer, with a coloured edge outline merged on top..paint strokes in Gertrudis Pro because I am pressed for time..then another edge layer on top of that... |
