"Digital Impressionistic Floral" Corel Painter Photo Essentials 4 - Plus

Digital Impressionistic Floral

This photograph is of smaller sized Snowball like flowers. I opened Picasa 3.9 and browsed to a Garden folder selecting the photograph. I opened with Corel Painter Photo Essentials 4 and tried a couple of auto paintings.

I concluded that the Impressionist style looked very interesting and auto painted the whole image. I especially liked the use of Impressionist colors for the white snowballs. The orange and lavender and white with a touch of blue.

I saved that file and selected it in Picasa and opened with Corel PSP Pro X3. Here I applied the Hue and Saturation Vibrancy to give the color some punch. I also Adjusted the Brightness using Curves. I added texture using the Effects, Art Media, Brushstrokes. If you look at the larger image you can see the textures better.

I added the Mat and Golden frame in Image, Picture Frame after I had placed my signature with Visible Watermark.

It is a cool and windy Spring here in Michigan this year and I am using the photographs from our garden from previous year's blossoms. Many of our perennials come out later in the spring.

I saved the large file then resized for display here.
