photo art friday 29.6.12 - a painterly picture

Today, over at Pixel Dust Photo Art
Bonnie's is hosting a "Painterly" edition of Photo Art Friday.

For this I used a photo of a waterlily in my pond taken earlier this week.


After a slight adjustment to the brightness/contrast
I used two of Bonnie's  textures!

I first applied Bonnie's "Vintage Craquelure" texture using 
the screen blending mode at 100%.
With a soft brush at, 70% opacity, I removed the texture from the lily,
and at 20% opacity, from the lily pad leaves.

I then applied Bonnie's "Painterly"texture using the
overlay blending mode, again at 100%.
This time I lightly brushed only the centre of the lily at 20% opacity.

Et Voila!


I love the way the textures have enhanced the water rippling around the leaves and petals!

Happy Photo Art Friday!
Happy Weekend!!
Happy Canada Day!!!
Safe weekend to all!

  1. You have made the craquelure texture look like a real painter's canvas, Janet. Your light touch editing the lily is perfect. So pleased that you shared your work with Photo Art Friday.
