Photo Art : What is Photo Art? One of the best definitions that I've come across was written by Danny Raphael over at the RetouchPro Forum. He wrote, "Art that is created using computer software in which a photo image is used as a basis or reference." My interest in this started with me trying to make note cards, I wanted some of my photos to look more like paintings. I started playing with the photos in PaintShop Pro using some of the built-in tools as well as scripts written by others, I then learned about other programs such as Fotosketcher and Dynamic Auto-Painter. Then I discovered how to simulate watercolours in PhotoShop. Included here are a few of my attempts to produce Art created from a photo.

Line Art images : What is line art? According to Wikipedia, "Line art is any image that consists of distinct straight and curved lines placed against a (usually plain) background, without gradations in shade (darkness) or hue (color) to represent two-dimensional or three-dimensional objects. Line art can use lines of different colors, although line art is usually monochromatic" Is what I do true line art? Probably not, but it is what I call these images.

Orton-ized : Michael Orton is a Canadian Photographer who has developed a unique effect for Nature and Landscape photography. The Process often called the Orton Effect is described at this link: http://www.naturephotographers.net/articles0106/dw0106-1.html In one of the Photography forums I frequent, we have had a go at creating images trying to emulate this effect digitally. There are a good number of tutorials on the web explaining how to go about this for anyone interested. The images in this gallery are my humble attempts at that emulation. Please remember that clicking on any thumbnail will show it on the right. Clicking on the right side image will open a larger version
