Waterlogue

I am joining in on Rhondi's Waterlogue Wednesday Link Party today.



I noticed fellow blogger Rosella had a cool winter garden scene photo for a header awhile ago.
Then her photo header suddenly changed to a water color of the same scene.
Wow!
I commented on it, and she graciously clued me into another blogger Rhondi post about the iphone/ipad application called Waterlogue that turns photographs in to water colors.

Talk about some kind of wonderful fun...

It only cost $2.99 to load the ap onto my iphone and minutes later I was getting the water colors that I had always been itching to do, once I had time and talent in my life.

This Waterlogue painting was from the photo below.

I suspect that if I loaded the water color into Picasa I could touch up a few "painter-ly" details like the small spot on my lower lip and the wrinkle lines on my chest, ahem.

Our living room.  I like how the lampshades came out sketched.

This is my absolute favorite "painting".

The photo is of my cousin's enclosed porch, taken last summer in Wallingford CT.

Springtime feeling come alive in the watercolor version.

I have taken watercolor course work and let me tell you...this is a whole lot faster and much more fun.
Now if I can only figure out how to print the pictures on watercolor paper...

Thanks Rhondi!
