| | Nev, how did you get that  affect of the paint washing off the canvas toward the frame. today I used one I got in one of the forums and it looked fine but the more choices I have the better (for the look I am after).

| | | Beauty in Oil.
Knew I had to use a lot of compression to get in under 100K. Figured I would take a little advantage of the artifacting (gives the oil more of a smushed stroke fill) for this one. For the curious, here was my original intent (nearly 500K).

| | | Gorgeous! Love that chunky style. I tried to do a combination of Deep Paint and Impressionist. Like yours way better though!
Cheers

| | | You people do such lovely pait effects. My niche leans more to the commercial art look. As said above, this photo does have some flaws and if I had to use it in an ad or brochure, here's what I would do to make it a little more appealing. It's an old trick to recrop, frame the subject and blur the background, but the technique lends itself to this photo. Anything to draw the eye away from that locked elbow. <wink>.
Also, this technique took about 3 minutes to complete. When time is money, that bears some consideration too. |

Still looks like a Wyeth to me.
Here's another look.
