      Hi Everyone,

      Inspired by a few watercolor styles I saw in this topic lately We decided to have a go at it. I really like the result. Feedback is very welcome as usual.

        very nice, but to me it looks more like Impasto or Acrylic on Canvas rather that Water color. IMHO

        If I make it look easy...It is probably easy

          You're right I was searching for a good description in english. Lets say its an Artsy Style 😄 . I forgot to mention that it's Sketchup and Photoshop. Could this be good enough for a portofolio?

            By all means. I mean, it depends on your audience. As an architect, I would be interested in a tad more detail, but if it's strictly and art piece. .. i think it's fine.

            I would play with incorporating some line work back in to give it a "drawn" effect and put back some of the detail that was lost. But that's just me.

              I personally don't like it as it still looks computer generated and I certainly wouldn't put it in a portfolio. I also agree about the lack of detail, I think it needs more. I've yet to see a Photoshop filter that I like without a lot of additional post processing. Nothing beats an actual hand drawn image but some of the 'Dennis effect' efforts from the past have come close. I would look up some old threads on this and the Google forum for examples.

                I think it might work better if the side of the house is rendered a slightly different shade to the front. Also maybe if you limit the canvas effect and add a gaussian blur on an adjustment layer it will look more natural.

                edit, I have had a play, but this doesn't really achieve it, I think you need to start with the original exported image.
