Ok, here's the last of the digital photo tricks we've been playing with - making pseudo-watercolor images from our photographs.This one takes alot of filtering, blending, and adjusting of images, but it gives a cool effect. Each image takes about 15 minutes...
Here is a bird-of-paradise from Hawaii...
And here is the watercolor approximation of it.The colors got kinda washed out - especially on the flower.
The leaves and rock background have a cool effect...
This one needs more work. A real watercolor painting would have looked better...
Here's a nice one from a boat image - sturgeon fishing on the Columbia River in Feb.The sky washed out too much, but the water and clouds have a nice effect.
I think the boat needs more shadowing and wash effects... we'll keep working on it.
