Cheers

Dan, like modern art...cool look!
Gary, dances and sparkles with this technique!
Dave, very exotic look!
Ray, wonderful smooth look and the colors are striking!
Lyle, binge away! Looks like an old newspaper photo.
Helen, love those bits of confetti... so festive! Very creative and effective.

I couldn't resist this one either. Used Photoshop with AHB and some PWL.

by **Helen** » Tue Dec 12, 2006 3:06 am

Phyllis--Just beautiful and the light is sensational!

Cheers
Helen

Well here is a version done with my current Technique de Jour.

Shadow/highlight followed by smart sharpen and brightness contrast and then POP action. Added some texture and Voila!!

by **lylejk** » Tue Dec 12, 2006 6:42 am

...simulate the large brushstrokes. Cool eh (was in Canada for 6 days in 1995; some things rubbed on me. lol)? Just a modification to CherylH's Finger Paint 1 preset again (but of course with the texture). I also added subtlely a canvas texture. Lots of massaging and sharpening later resulted in what's below.

ugot...--I like the POP de Jour.
Lyle--That is sensational!

This one is Impressionist with art history and canvas texture.

Cheers
Helen

by **lylejk** » Tue Dec 12, 2006 6:53 am

Wow Helen; you got the gloss look that I still am struggling with in my oils. Very nice. What Impressionist preset did you use?

by **Helen** » Tue Dec 12, 2006 7:40 am

Lyle--I used Cat's fav soft and loose with custom colour.

I learned her tut for the Degas dancers too and when I saw this one I thought of her tut too! Great Job!

Patricia--That is so beautiful--those brushes you used work really well with this pic.
Carrie--A terrific pic. Did you use Painter or PS?

Cheers

Hope you like

by **Carrie** » Tue Dec 12, 2006 10:18 pm

Ohhh Ray,
Very good indeed! I like how you made use of those lights. I can never do the lighting effect very well.
Carrie
Here is another one!

by **GSK** » Tue Dec 12, 2006 10:36 pm

Carrie....Your 2nd painting is fantastic ( not that your first one is bad).

Amazing what you guys did with those pictures!!!
I did mine exclusively with Photoshop.
Phyllis, is there a way we can let Nancy and Mary know they can have the original of their painted picture if they like it?
Sylvia

by **Phyllis Stewart** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 2:58 am

Chuck, it worked again beautifully!

Lyle, a real work of modern/abstract art!

Helen, a true masterpiece! =D>

Goes into my applause thread now!

Patricia, charming pic with a youthful look, and the frame is great with it!

Ray, really striking with that lighting!

Carrie, love your mouse girl! That one of the three dancers is heavenly! Must have it in my applause thread to visit again and again. =D>

Sylvia, these are spectacular! It's hard to pick, but I'll put the first one into my applause thread. =D>

How did you do these? I can see the background was done with AHB, but what else did you do on the dancers?

And, yes, Sylvia, you can tell Richard Calmes to let them know. Just leave him a message on his pbase site by clicking "profile" and finding the message link.

by **sylvia_dg** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 3:08 am

Thanks for the honor, Phyllis.

Really, I didn't do much on the girls themselves, all I did was change the colors here and there, with highlight/shadows, levels, pastel (Niks filters) and stuff like that. I also added colors on the parts that were a bit too pale. that's about it. I also smudged a little bit on some parts.

I think what made the difference was the background. I didn't use AHB but Impressionist and put the layer on Normal at 100%, added a layer mask to bring back the girls, that's it!

Sylvia

by **pavel123** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 3:26 am

Awesome pictures. Richard, thank you for sharing.
watercor attempt in Photoshop.

Pavel

by **lylejk** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 5:31 am

To both Carrie, and Sylvia, your versions are my favorite so far. Fantastic work. Like I always say, just can't simulate a true painter (and again, I say, I'll keep trying; lol).

Well, after what I just got through, I wish I had Painter and a Wacom (would probably been faster; lol).

Sylvia.....Great work using photoshop.You made it look like it was done in painter.
Pavel....nice watercolor.

I think I overworked this photo just a tad. I tried to make it look like a painting in PS, but the more I did, the more it just looked the same... so anyway.... I tried

Patricia, Thank you!
Yes, in my springtime I was a guitar player at secondary school band. Love this period of time with the Beatles in my heart.

Dan...
How strange...when i looked at your new avatar...It just popped into my head and of course you have given clues when you add a few words of a song here and there... My proudest possesion is my Beatles Autographs...I wrote to them all when i was 14 and had replies from Paul and Ringo....

Patricia....

by **Carrie** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 3:41 pm

Oh more! I just love all the versions.
Thank you Phyllis. and excited you liked them so much!
Lyle, Your version is superb.
Sylvia, very good. They look painted and so different.

Wow! You are a lucky woman if you have Paul and Ringo autographs. My proud possesion is the signature of Rolls Royce president

Richard, just to be in an environment to take these pictures must be a howl. Love your photos

Very nice renditions posted by all.

Sylvia - Very original idea, nice use of filters.

I found this childs face really cute. Had to work on it.

by **Pat** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 8:11 pm

These ballet images are wonderful. Thank you Richard.

After I have posted mine I will go through the others.

Mine was done in Painter using Painter's watercolours. I used a canvass texture.

Please click on this image for the larger version

Thanks for looking.

Pat

by **Pat** » Wed Dec 13, 2006 8:21 pm

Wow, I'm out of breath.

I've just been through all the others and they are breathtaking.

The colours and imagination are something to behold.

Good old Richard.
