Reminds me of Water Colors, which i am told are difficult. But after looking at your other two shots I think you are on a roll !!

I like it. It's good to be able to experiment with different processes and be creative and it's all a learning curve. Well done.

I like this work, Peter, and you are right.
If we can use this tools, why not? ;) It?s opened to your creativity and imagination..
Some work can be really good.
My best, Márcia.

Thanks for your reply. Just to make myself clear, I do appreciate the experiment. Alot, that's a vital element in learning, and that's what UF is for.... That's what I meant to say in the last alinea.... I do that all the time...;o)
Cheers,
Hugo

I understand your point of view Hugo !
Still i like to experiment as i do not own canvas nor real oil- or waterpaint, because i know i will never be able to create something out of nothing (fill the blank sheet).
It is more my admiration for watercolour paintings that drives me to look for a way to express in a painterly way what i feel about the photo i took.
I agree about the ruggedness of filters and plug-ins, because they will never add something, they only modify or take away !
Thanks for your honest comment, always appreciated !
Peter

Hi Peter, I alwasy find this very difficult to comment on. The most honest reaction would be that I just dislike it. But I understand that needs some explanation.
In levels of art, there is a distinct difference between a painting and a photograph. The combination (painting on a photograph or combined techniques) is also known, but I just fail to see the point of making a photo look like a painting.
If you want to create a painting, I think nothing matches the quality and feel of actual canvas / paper, paints and brushes. The PS filters are just too rigid and lifeless, or maybe even too perfect. Likewise, if you want to create a photographic image, nothing beats a real photo.
Having seen more of your work (and commented on it) I think this kind of rework does not do justice at your high quality standard of your portfolio.
Obviously, this is a personal opinion, and reading Richards' comment just proves it. And that's what I like about Usefilm, and what I value in anybody who pushes the limits in their quest and experiments. Thanks for sharing!
Cheers,
Hugo

Peter, mooi geprobeerd
Maar hij komt wat flets over
Vooral de Poppies geven een verwarende indruk
Ik zou een donkerder kleur groen nemen en zachter
Zet door met je experiment

I think you are on the right track. This is looking like a loose pen and ink, or brush and ink, on wet paper, letting the color run a little past the boundaries of forms. I like it!
