No Oil Painting...
Having follwed a long photshop tut on getting an oil painting effect, and not liking the end result, I tried my own method...just 2 steps..and was really pleased with the outcome. These 2 photos were taken at a local park at the beach..you can see the sea in the distance, and I think the snowy scenes work well as paintings. (did try the effect on a pic of me..the result was, frankly,scary! will have to work on that one..)

Is that like a big (WHITE) Oil Spill? LOL
ReplyDeleteI love these scenes, the effects made me think I needed 3d glasses. Is that what you were trying to achieve? Jacki
ReplyDeletemethinks I have just been insulted by Ron..revenge will be mine..lol!
ReplyDelete@ jackie..I see what you mean..those reddish lines DO look like a 3d pic..will have to go back to photoshop n work at this some more!
I can sure pick out the 3D texture. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I love your smiling face that appears when I visit your blog...a real day brightener!
Nice effect, and it does look 3d. I use a program called Corel Painter Essentials 4. It can add many different painterly effects. Its a lot of fun. Here is some of my work:

Beautiful images to start with and I love how dimensional the technique makes the image! Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteVery nice technique. It is almost surreal.
ReplyDeleteHi Joanne,
ReplyDeleteThese turned out wonderful! I think you will need to share your technique so we all can give it a try.
