Create a painterly look with photographs…
Creating a painterly look with a photo is easy with Alien Skin Snap Art! This is one of my favorite ways to add texture and dimension, while keeping the original foundation of the photograph. The latest version of Snap Art has wonderful effects and variations. Pointillism, one of the many painterly effects in Snap Art, creates dabs of impressionistic color which is a lot of fun! You can vary the brush length and even the canvas type. You can use code DEB0902 for a discount on any Alien Skin product.
A cool edge treatment adds the perfect finishing touch. I used OnOne PhotoFrame to add to the painterly look of this image. You can use code DEBSANDIDGE for a discount on any OnOne Software product. Creating a painterly look is mesmerizing, somehow relaxing, and a wonderful creative outlet. Have fun painting! ~ Deb
Hello:
I love this painterly look and the frame goes nicely with this shot. You inspire people to experiment with filters and software techniques. I really have enjoyed your pictures from Santorini (especially Oia). Would you ever consider leading a photography tour on the island of Santorini? I’m sure a lot of people would be interested including myself. I had the great opportunity to attend one of your photography seminars in London Ontario in September. I plan on experimenting with Topaz and Alien Skin filters……not to mention considering converting my old DSLR to an infrared camera. Thanks for all the photography insights.

I hope you convert your camera to infrared, the world is magical in infrared!
Thank you for attending my seminars in London, Ontario – what a great event, I truly enjoyed meeting everyone.
I’ll keep you posted on a Santorini workshop.
