Riverbank winter NPR

davidh

An NPR image of a house I have previously uploaded.Here I have placed it beside a riverbank in snow.There are a lot of layers in the photoshop file based originally on a Thea render.

I just love the atmosphere of the scene u made.
Good job on every part of the picture especially the way u handled the frosted lake.

Comments... hard to make!
Maybe one thing, in the left corner u can see the photoshop layer transition between the grass and the snow, maybe the blending good be smoother. Be that would be a really minor and personal thing.

ps I wish i could be as good as u.

A peaceful night shot.I wanted to try and get the effect of the moonlight reflecting off the soft snow in the foreground.I added the lights to bring in warm colours to contrast with the blue.

A much more simple version based from the original raw render,only tree and sky added.

Absolutely love the night shot. Very seasonal. Would like to make something similar for my xmas cards. Seriously

Thanks for the comments guys.I have attached another photoshop watercolour with different colour tones than the last,plus some additional trees.But as with the last,I wanted to keep a lot of pure white in the image.

Superb, you should use these to create your own christms cards.

I wanted to try and get the golden hour light into these scenes, one with low evening sun. I did some colour toning to bring out the purples,blues and reds that contrast well with the overall golden orange colour.

David, I could admire your images all day and never get bored they just keep getting better.

David, all your images are fantastic, but that first one is perfection. Print it, frame, it, hang it on the wall!

I came across a christmas themed render I did last year so I used the same christmas lights on this image.They were done in photoshop using multiple image references and blended using the screen mode which gives the bright light effect.
