Increased size of image. When they're too small, the end up looking like photos.

Base layer: BuzzPro Simplfier 1 - to lose a little detail

Other effects applied to layers above the base layer and selectively applied with layer masks:
* Crosshatch
* Colored Pencil
* Microsoft Impressionist - Charcoal/Default
* Microsoft Impressionist - Pencil Sketch/Detail Colored

Cheers...

Used a grain filter on a new layer then set this layer to exclusion mode.

Added a levels layer to darken the background and brighten the colours.

Forgot what a cutie little Ashley was...

----------------------------

Photoshop...
* Image size to make larger (can't believe I posted such a dinky original)
* Smart blur - to smooth artifacts
* Three layers rendered by a custom Impressionist preset varying the brush size from 50 for detail to 150 and 400 for non-detail areas. Combined these layers using layer masks.
* Flattened and saved

Corel Painter X
* Cloned and use Acrylic Oils variants to "smear" the paint

Photoshop
* Sharpened
* Messed with colors
* Added some detail via layer mask from a layer rendered by Akvis sketch from the original image

Decided to revisit this one as its such a good pic.
I couldn't decide which I liked best, B&W or colour, so posted both.

I vote for the B&W. I really like your technique on this. Could you please tell me how you did it?
