"True Colors"

Another Painter IX image. Hard to see the detail so I am including a few cropped in images. Please tell me what you like & don't like. Thanks.....lost in the land of Painter! :)

Crop in of sky & trees.

Here's the original for comparison. Thanks for taking the time to look. For me, it's the journey not the destination that I find interesting :)

Please be critical. I am learning & would appreciate any suggestions.

Please view large & see the cropped in versions for the details, Lost!

I thinks is a beatiful work, I would love to know how you did

Thank you so much for the compliment :)

 

I did this in the Painter IX program using the "Artist" brush, "Impressionistic". Admittedly, I spent several hours (actually a few days) painting & repainting this image. A lot quicker than Van Gogh :) It was fun, frustrating & fulfilling. After discovering Painter IX, I feel inspired & released. I can now create (can't draw or paint a lick in the real world :) It is very, very addictive. Worth every penny it cost!

How do you get the mess off of your lense after you paint with it? Neat program. I'll have to look into it.

Great job again, Jayme. I know how addicting it is to be an "artist" with your photographs. It's fun and a very creative outlet.

Very beautiful, I like the original one as well :)

You've done a fantastic process turning a photograph into a fine art picture. I believe in large print size you begin to see the brush work and details you've created and intended. I find most post processing simply gets lost downsizing for PNet, but many of us realize the full potential. Thanks for sharing those intricate crops...well done......cheers......Tye.

John- It's not easy to remove the paint :) Paint thinner helps :) Painter is intimidating. Just remember 2 things when you start:

1-Always make a clone of the image & work on the clone.

2-When you start to paint on the clone, make sure the little stamper is active by clicking on it (it's in the "colors" palette). The help menu does help after you realize these 2 very small tips :) Good luck!

 

Kim- It is very addictive. I've been painting, drawing & playing every since I started. Some good, some bad, some in-between, but all fun :)

 

 

Kazimiera- Thank you for the lovely comment :)

 

Tye- Nice to hear from you. I think you would enjoy Painter to the Max. Your such an artist :) Web posting is really an art in itself. I like working with really large files, for large print. Large files don't look as good on the web. (John knows this well) I can't help but wonder how some of the amazing images on PN look in large print? I know there's an art to web posting of large images, I just haven't figured it out yet:) I guess creating one image for print & one for the web is the answer. I can't see the benefit, other than higher ratings. Of which, ratings just don't matter to me.

 

When I print large, many times I print, correct, re-print, re-correct & on & on, until I get exactly what I'm looking for. I am currently doing a pencil drawing overlay. I purposely have kept the dpi @ 72. When I print at 8x10 it seems to accentuate the pencil drawing part. I liked that. I'm still working on it. I will post it when I am satisfied. I'll post area enlargements for detail.

 

I'm having way, way too much fun. Plus...... today is my B-day & we are going to see a 3D ultrasound of our 5th grandson today. How much fun is this :) Can't wait!

 

I love paint interpretations. They seem so difficult to get right digitally. Either overdone or not enough alteration. But this is just perfect! Painterly, soft and muted, a terrific impression. Is this Corel?

Philip- It is Corel Painter. I took a class on BP. I really enjoyed the learning process, it was eye opening :)
