Oil Painted Glacier Water

I shot this photo on the Panorama Trail in Yosemite . I did several effects to create this mostly w/ brush stokes- I wanted it to look like someone had painted it using oil paints.

Denise. It certainly does look like an oil painting. Are you using PainterX?

[denise ippolito]

Joanna, I did this thru cs4

Oooh, can't wait for my upgrade! Thanks.

You can tell you know how to paint, Denise. I doubt I'd get such a realistic effect from your technique but I'm going to have to give it a try one of these days.

My only suggestion would be to further increase the whites on the 'whitecap' areas of the water so they add a more profound dimension to the image.

Very "Painterly", as they say in the art world. A pretty scene, nicely done. I'm getting PS4 too- I gather there are some brush upgrades? Fun!!

This is definitely a wall hanger. I love it. Agree with Julie that a little more intense whites on the whitecaps would give it more pop. But overall, this is a wonderful oil painting effect. Makes me want to go ahead and order PS4.
