This one sized OK.

re: Impressionist plugin
This is one of my all time favorites. FYI: Microsoft wrote Impressionist, not Trimoon. He uses it frequently on the wonderful artwork he creates.

I've been playing around with the free version of Deep Paint lately and though I'd use it on this old pic. Hope you like it !

Awsome, Pam. I used Studio Artist and Painter. This is a very nice photo and I will do something else with it again.

Sometimes this 100k gets me, but managed to get this in by the skin of my Pentium.

Danny, thanks for a great photo to play with. All the paintings here are gorgeous! Here's my attempt, done in Painter using Captured Bristle, Just Add Water, and Cover Pencil. I kept messing with the canvas texture and never got it just like I wanted it, but life goes on

cazubi · #38 11-19-2005, 08:02 PM

Catherine and Steve: Very beautiful.

I used painter oils for my second try.

Thanks Cathy.

Had to really reduce the original downoad size after the manip. So the quality was not as good as the original, but I got it to finally upload.

Boy, the last half dozen entries have been really great!! I just tried some PopArTisT adjusted back, Twirl Motion Blur on background, a noise filter and then ran a pastels effect in Paint Shop Pro.

Cheers

jaykita - love your watercolor softish effect, brilliantly done to get that very soft look
axle - like your watercolored background version on the first version, and love your great looking background on the second version
neve - love the impasto effect you got on the hair
legacy - like your out of the frame effect
pamsav - always liked your work, and you have plenty of them
rainday - love your second version which has a great frame effect, and love your background, I need to learn to make such great backgrounds.

Danny - thanks for the welcome and thank you for the great tutorials and stuff, and are you sure there is only one of you ?

My modest version is done in Painter 9 with Acrylic with Captured Bristle variant and tried to add some paint and blend in lightly. Will be quite a while before I can match the great talent here.

Server went down at work and this is the only site I can get to so I thought I'd have a play at this one while I wait.

hmmm, mine ended up in a new thread.. Don't know why it happened. Have been playing with smudge painting. Would like to know how to get the beautiful edge effects the atist get, like in Catherin's image.

Nancy, you can use plugins like Extensis Photoframe, or Auto FX Photo/Graphic edges. If you want to make your own you can make a layer mask and use some of the different natural media brushes to paint an edge around the image. When it looks the way that you want it you apply mask. You can have a paper layer under it so that it looks like it was painted on. You can then use the eraser with a low opacity to fade areas around edge. I am sure that there are many other ways to do it too.
