    I took a couple pictures of the '70 Grabber today in the freshly fallen leaves. Used a photo program to create an oil painting effect. What do you think?

    looks nice but for some reason I think it would look better if the wheels were straight.

    Nice!! What program? I need a program that will do a line drawing from a photo. Is that one of the functions of your program?

    I think that would look better not as a oil painting. Plus the leaves in the forefront arent quite oily enough.

    Maybe Eric could take a tiny brush and put brush strokes on every leave in the picture.

    That ought to fix it :rofl2:

    No offense, but I think it would look much better as a regular photo! Oil paintings look good as nature scenes and old buildings, but not cars. By the way, what did you put on your cowl to cover it? That does look great and will keep those leaves out of it! :)

    Yes, it seems the closer to the camera lens an object was, the less the brush strokes are defined. You can tweak it anyway you want. The program I'm using is called FOTO SKETCHER - very powerful program. It will do very simple pencil drawings in B&W or color. Cartoon, oils, chalk art - you name it.

    Here are a couple tweaks -added more brush strokes (zoom in and you can see them better in the foreground) and did a color pencil

    Nothing covering the cowl - that is just an effect of angle and lighting.

    I guess the effect I was after was the fall scene, the old farm, the leaves, and the Maverick. Here is the original picture. :)

    It would look a lot better if the lighting did not make the car s reflective. That's what really detracts from the oil painting filter. Pencil looks slick but needs dulling.
