My wife took up watercolor painting a few years ago. Unlike me, she has a lot of natural talent, so her work was quite nice right from the beginning. One of her classes has a critique session. Usually the instructor has several tips for each painting. On the occasion that nothing further is needed, she'll proclaim that painting "a wallhanger!"
And that is what I thought when I brought this image into Topaz Simplify and applied the water color preset. This amazing program took a nice but unremarkable image and turned it into, well, a wallhanger. Not being very familiar with Simplify, I did try several slider adjustments. I found them very intuitive and I dialed in just the look I wanted easily.
And right about now, with all this cold and dreary weather we have been having in California, this bright image on my wall would be just the ticket. As always on Topaz Tuesday, click on the continue link to see the original, and even leave a comment if you like this one. Come on now, feed the blog!
