Welcome Qom!
That is a lovely photo of a rose that you started with. And you manipulated the photo very nicely into a painting. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] I like it.
Sometimes in digital images people tend to filterize the image (especially plugin and program vendors) and say, "look at how painterly it looks!". And people like me look at the plug-in effect and say .. ."nope it looks very computerish and unnatural"
But you did a fantastic job of giving brush strokes for each part of the flower. . . .very nicely done . . .clearly not a simple filter effect. Well done. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
To begin with, your photo has beautiful compostition which we can breifly define as placement of objects within an image and still that definition tells you nothing of what compostion is. . . (hmm maybe I'll have to revive that old thread on composition. . . you photographers have to have a good grasp of it to get those great photos) [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img]
But don't let me distract you from my main point and that is: your rose image is very pretty.
You're right, we are very blessed to have so many talented Painter users visit and share their experiences with us [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] .
So be sure to take advantage of the fact that you have their attention. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif[/img]
I like to hope that people who are less schooled in art, drawing, painting etc. feel welcome here in this forum because, in truth, the experienced can learn from the inexperienced (and vice versa [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_smile.gif[/img] )
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="-1">quote:</font><HR> I may be a bit out of place here, since I'm not much of an artist, but am a big fan of Painter and have been using it since version 4. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Being a big fan of Painter is really all that is required [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]. As Jinny herself has said, no one can pretend to be a Painter expert. We are all learning this program . . . we're learning every day.
And having fun with painter is the other big thing here in this forum. We try to share the fun we've been having [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
So welcome to the forum. Relax, have some of Stecyk's coffee along with Greg and me and have fun with us. [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img] maybe we'll all watch some light shows together.
and thank you for posting your rose [img]/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif[/img]
