I haven't posted one of these for a while, so here goes.

Mine done with a little help from Impressionist (only a little honest).

Re: Lady

Yes, thanks Peter for getting this one started.

Exceptionally well done, Vitaly. Your WC look on this one is terrific.

Mine: Impressionist plugin using presets based on "gauze"-like brush. The second one is a copy of the first with a large dose of the "Boss Emboss" plugin.

Re: Lady

Great picture, and great renditions!

I brought out some detail in the hair, and some other image adjustments. Followed this up by selectively using Impressionist.

I don't know where this version "came from" but I felt mean and daring.

Re: Lady

So many responses - so soon. Wow

MiningArt Nice smooth glow
Lyle time for another binge I think that's different to be sure.
Vitaly Very nice watercolour I'm jealous.
OB good textured paint look. Like the famed one as well.
Danny the master of Impressionist Like the first not sure about no.2
Palms what have you done to her nose?
Dan nicely done but worrying
Jeff again a nice smooth glow but a little orange to me?
Tennie your coming on with this sketch look, the impressionist is nice too.
Lyle again that would make a good landscape
Veronica you been playing poker again
Lynn nice one
Steve nice coloured sketch effect.
Grant good glamour glow.
Palms again I like the soft smudge wasn't sure about the textured one but a second look changed my mind.


After all the sketched ones I thought for a change - a sketch one.
But with a little warping.
Peter

Re: Lady

Bravo, Peter! That's a very creative. The brush strokes are great.

My 3rd try:
More Impressionist plugin. I'm experimenting with the "Use Brush Family" control to get a better mixture of brush effects on a given pass. Good info on this icontrol in "Help."
