Actually that last image is stunning!

Whatever you are doing I'd keep it locked in a vault.

Thanks guys,
The effect is done purely in photoshop using standard filters with colour overlays.Its an effect I have been working towards for quite a while and is probably as close as I can get to a digital watercolour effect .

Hello David, your styles just keep getting better...love the tones

These are awesome, I'd be interested in buying your presets if you made them available.

they look great, David.

Again mate, making the rest of us feel VERY inferior. They really do look like real hand works!

ХОРОШАЯ РАБОТА

2 more based off original Artlantis renders(the original artlantis render for the kitchen is attached).I added faint lines in photoshop using the line tool with a very low opacity in the layer so they dont stand out.
I found the key to getting a better final image is to brighten the original render considerably or the result can look quite dark.

Heres an example of how increasing the brightness of one part of the image can really make a difference.Attached are 2 versions of an image I recently uploaded but decided that the original(the top image) was too murky and too busy.
I greatly increased the brightness on the left to reduce the murkyness and the image is much better.It also helps give the impression of blank paper,and a more looser,sketcheier feel to the image.

Here's a streetscape I rendered a while back in Thea.The original Thea render is much darker than the final watercolour so I had to increase brightness and saturation before starting the main process.
