A good friend, Harry Ellerton, who was recently inspired by one of Duv's creations, had a suggestion: "How about a thread dedicated to creations rendered exclusively by the Microsoft Impressionist plugin (PC only) with the requirement that specific Impressionist setting details be provided..."
Sounds like fun!
Guidelines:
* No Buzz, Flaming Pear, Virtual Painter, Zero, etc. filters/plugins
* No arty or distortion filters
* OK to sharpen or use filters like Unsharp Mask, Find Edges or Smart Blur/Edge Only for edge definition. Adjustment Layers OK, too.
Include the Impressionist Category and Varient, e.g., Chalk-Chunk Strokes. If you make setting changes, please note them, otherwise default settings are assumed.
Go for it!

Use your own "before" picture. You don't need to use the one I used.
There's no time limit on this. Add to this thread whenever you're inspired to do so.

Details on mine (see Layers Palette snapshot). Image built from the bottom up.
* Layer A: Copy of Background. Impressionist Watercolor: Damp Translucent Wash. Setting changes: Background = Image. Pressure = 100.
* B: Copy of Background. (Pin Light) Pencil Sketch: Soft Detailed (default settings)
* C: Copy of Background. (Luminosity). Layer > Add Layer Mask > Hide all. Painted white around leg area to restore a little detail.

OK... Your turn. Let's see some creative uses of Impressionist.
Thanks, Harry, for the idea, and to Tom Judd who inspired me to rewrite the instructions for my initial creation!
