I’ve been having a lot of fun over the past couple of weeks. For the camera club, we have to do a series of 6 to 10 images of some topic of our own choice. The various series will be displayed at our Gala evening in December.
I’ve decided that my Topic is “Dutch Windmills: As they might have been visualized by artists”. So, I’ve prepared 10 painterly images. They may need a bit of touching up here and there, but basically I about completed the year’s work!
While I was about it, I decided to frame each image using a “Dave Type” frame. Thanks Dave.
Anyway, one of the digital painterly effects that I have never managed to do successfully, is the palette-knife look. In the past, the my most likely candidate was based on Fotosketcher’s Emergence drawing parameter; but that wasn’t quite there.
This time I decided to have another go at using the PS Art History Brush, together with some impasto brushes, which I think I got from Tim Shelbourne years ago. I used the same method as I do with my Watercolour images, with underpainting, medium detail, and fine detail layers. Ultimately, I made an Emboss layer, and overlaid that using the Hard Mix blending mode.
Anyway, it works reasonably well. Below is the current state of play.
I think that I will probably have another go at this image, knowing what I do now!
C&C Welcome
