Change of Pace - Landscape

I decided to create an image that is a change of pace from my usual motifs of custom cars and guitars. I selected a photograph of my Nephew's home in Alaska. I wanted to try out some more of the plug-in filters I recently downloaded for Paint.NET.

I opened the photograph in Paint.NET and used the first filter on it - Effect> Artistic> Stewien Filters> Kuwahara Filter Modified> which gave me a painted look. Almost a paint by number appearance.

There are two vehicles in the driveway, you can make them out by the colors bronze and black. There is also an individual walking that you can no longer make out.

In addition to this filter I applied the Effects> Artistic> Collage Paint> filter which I described in my last post. I used a folder of fractal images I had created and applied them with a lower transparency setting so as to be able to make out the house and other details. Lastly I used Adjustments> Curves> to deepen the colors.

The image has a lot of texture and I really like texture in my pieces. I am enjoying my foray into using these new plug-in filters with Paint.NET.
