Hello Folks! I went artsy fartsy this week. I remembered there are some better art options in Corel, which I haven’t used for a long time, so I bopped between the two programs. I like it for the possibilities it presents for an art quilt, but not particularly as a photo in and of itself. I’ll work toward that goal next week.
If this looks like fun to you feel free to join us at Robyn’s One Four Challenge on her Captivate Me blog.
Now for the photo art chatter! Here’s what I did:
Stage 1 in Photoshop
Lightened it up by changing input levels from
[0 1. 255 ] to [10 .4 230]
Selective color;
RED – Reduced cyan and increased yellow
NEUTRALS – increased cyan and magenta/decreased yellow
BLUE – reduced black
Stage 2 In Corel
Effects/Art Strokes/Cubist
Stage 3 In PS
Slightly shifted hue toward pink/purple
With Calligraphic straight brush tinted white part of sky pinkish.
Turtlemoon Impressions 
A totally different feel, which is great! Such rich hues – makes me think of Pointillism or a Mosaic 🙂

Very impressionistic, something that I would never attempt but I think it is great you have. It really works.

Thanks Ben! I really liked this Corel effect, which, I think is newish. I don’t remember it from when I used to only have Corel.

VERY purple which I like, and initially I was a bit overwhelmed but when I saw the subtle texture detail I liked it more. Interesting effect

It is a bit ‘out there’ for me, but being a quilter myself, I definitely can see how this could be great inspiration for an art quilt!
