photo painting

A often visited topic with groups dedicated to 'graphic art'. I often struggle with what to do with a slightly out of focus photo (usually a macro) and I often head in a 'canvas' direction. I have sold many prints of photos printed on canvas and stretched over a wooden frame - eliminating the need for mats and frames - which gives the viewer a more immediate connection.. Here is an example of what I only know as a latern flower..

I belong to two Eons groups that create photo paintings or paintographs;

Photo to Art view link" rel="nofollow">view link and

Digital Paintbrush Artists view link" rel="nofollow">view link which I manage.

I also belong to a number of Flickr groups that create paintings from photos. As a pensioner, I make a little pocket money from online sales of my paintographs printed to stretched canvas.

My method involves painting every pixel of a digital image using software such as Corel Painter and a Wacom tablet, and a pressure sensitive stylus to apply the digital paint strokes.

See a recent painting I made of the Colorado River near Blythe CA where we are snowbirding this winter: view link" rel="nofollow">view link

The objective is to have the painting look more like a real painting with visible brush strokes than a photograph.

photomajic.. I really like both.. Each has it's own merits.. Depending on mood at time? The canvas look has it's merits as does the original.

I agree with BWA, both are very nice, with excellent composition. Again, Paddrick, thanks for the info.
