# damn. I tried to make it look like a painting and failed.

can anybody help me out here? I'm not familiar with the paint filters in pshop at all...
I mean, it looks kind of a little like a painting, but a crappy 70's painting. I want renaissance or classical or whatever.

# you need some texture maybe
a canvas perhaps, I can see a bit, but a stronger contrast so you can see the lines more, plus fade it a bit, Use liquify and a massive brush that covers the whole thing and lightly nudge the whole thing around slightly.

# I did the canvas thing but it was too much.
but I could try your liquefy trick...

# Here's my attempt


I did a bit of liquify to ooze it up but it didn't change it that much then i 50% sumi-e'd it and a bit of canvas.

Also - I never changed nuffin Guvnor!

# to be honest
none of the art filters do exactly what you think they will do - you have to play around a lot - try gaussian blur a tiny bit then maybe dry brush or watercolour - but you have to much about with the settings a lot.

i like what you did.. 60s/70s crap acrilyics have a charm all unto themselves!

# how's this one?

brush strokes/sprayed strokes filter, followed by texturizer/canvas filter.

# Whatever you use
duplicate the layer a few times, then try out the filters on each, move them a bit and then settle on your final pic by experimenting with the transparency/blending of the layers

# good advice that
layer mixing can give you some very nice and unexpected results. Try out the layer type too - hue, multiply etc...

# not quite as planned...

# I added a layer with a ochrish "canvas" pattern at 23%

smart-blurred and then used angled strokes...still just ends up looking like a water color at best.

# Photoshop this time.
The newer Photoshop filters aren't very compatible with Fireworks (and why should they be, really?)
