Venice Gondolas… a painterly approach with Alien Skin Snap Art
Venice is most beautiful, like the rest of Italy, everything is a picture! These boats were right outside my window. They stayed docked most of the time, it was a lot colder than it looks! This photo was taken very early in the morning when the sky was beginning to take on color and a few clouds. I wanted to create a artistic look for this image, as if an artist in Venice had painted this from the heart. My painting skills are somewhat limited but I truly enjoyed working with Alien Skin Snap Art. Brushstrokes of color and texture brought this photo to life using the Oil Paint filter. It was just what I had in mind when I made the picture! Buon giorno… have a wonderful day! Happy painting and please feel free to use code Deb0902 for anything Alien Skin!
Wow Deb! What a beautiful image! I can’t even see the numbers underneath where you painted. *laugh*
Your creativity never ceases to amaze me.
Oh, that is too funny! i used to do that when I was a kid, seriously! You can see why I’m a frustrated painter. Thank you, Gary! 🙂
That’s a really cool effect 🙂
Hi Ray, thank you! It’s a cool alternative to actually painting! I have watercolor paints and paper somewhere, but this is more fun!
Deborah,
This looks just like it was painted. I love the beautiful colors. I would buy it and hang it in my house 🙂
