Creative interpretations: Madras Sales Woman

[DannyRaphael]

I guess we're on an international roll this week. Crete in another one; Madras in this one. Kinda makes you want to explore the world a bit -or- perhaps explore your backyard instead.

Have a good week.

Decided to just run Pixel Painter on this one. Added a vanGogh texture pattern.

I started with my mixed bag action (Lower layer is impressionist custom preset crackeld paint followed by paint engine bad brush, upper layer is a buzz sketch followed by impressionist crackledpaint and paint engine-borg), then topped it with a gaussian blur sketch. Merged it all and played with some nik filters to beef up the color intensity.

Catia, what is the Pixel Painter that you refer too? Is it a plugin, a stand alone, or something else?
Loved the outcome, no matter what it is.

Paris,

Thanks for the complement. I appreciate it.

Pixel Painter is a PS action written by Mike Finn.

I'm back...

Well, folks it has been a long time so bare with me. You have learned a lot since I have been away. Hence I have a lot of catching up to do, but here is my humble try.

Say Cheese,
Lynda

Oh a roll...

Here is another attempt. This was done very simply with PhotoBrush 1.7 using the Oil Emboss filter and the Filter-sim #21 Kodak filter.

It's SO NICE to see you creations. You definitely haven't lost your touch.

Welcome home and welcome back, Lynda.

Newbie here

I've been at another forum where everything seems cartoony. I had been using several programs, but when Paintshop Pro 8 came out I really haven't used anything else. If that makes me ineligible for this forum, please let me know. I hope not, because what I've seen so far of your work here, this is where I'd like to be.

I took the lady from Crete and added a texture and then a leather texture and softened it a bit.

I see that this is a MADRAS woman, not a CRETE woman....

Hello again Amy,

No tools rules here. I use PSP8 some myself. There are some things I like PS7 for and some I like to do in PSP8.

Nice rendition.

Hello Amy:

What a great way to get started here. A BIG Welcome!

Creating photo-art using PSP is perfectly acceptable. I have PSP 7 myself and dabble with it every now and then. (I got Corel Painter last summer, so I'm still getting used to that at the moment.)

I see you've posted a couple more creations, and I'm looking forward to checking them out, too.

Just finished checking out your other posts. Outstanding work!

You're a breath of fresh air!

Gave this one a try.

Three layers - background; paint engine artic, about 60% opacity; paint engine impressionist 2, also about 60% opacity. Added a solid fill layer with a color chosen from the picture, and painted with a dry brush.

Then, copy merged and paste to get a new layer. Finally, chose the solid color, feathered slightly, and filled to soften the edges. Added a texture, and voila! it's done.

oops!

ok, where'd the image go?

FYI: If you preview the text, the attachment path is erased and has to be repopulated before posting the image. Software quirk! Nice results. ~Danny~

try again . . .

Nice result Patricia. I like the way you did the background. Good choice of color also.
