In the beginning this AOP seemed only suited for forest paintings and was therefore named Deep Forest. It was primarily meant for paintings with large, rough strokes but in the end I also made a version with thinner strokes. It now has several palettes and is hopefully also usable for other motives than trees.

Gruppe_wc was created by Vitaly (also known as Piker77). I have no blurb’ to post along with this AOP. I can say it is one of my favourite AOPs, I particularly like Palette #8 on water scenes as seen in the example on the left. FWIW, the sample was run at defaults with no additional processing.
My thanks to Vitaly for creating this AOP and for giving me permission to upload it to the Cafe.

The AOP was created by Automotion
Automotion wrote this about the AOP:
“A very versatile AOP, just needing a bit of contrast work in post processing”
“The early stages can give interesting results. (strokes 2000 to 5000).
If you don’t mind letting it run for 50-60k strokes, you can remove the dry reveal.”
“Have fun!”

AOP created by Mary Warner and uploaded to the Cafe with her permission.
Mary wrote the following about this AOP:
“This AOP is a fun attempt at imitating simple oil brush strokes and duplicating the colors in the underlying photo. There is no effort to mimic any known painter’s style. Works well with landscapes, animals, flowers and some portraits. Default/recommended settings are 50%/50% Expressive / Realistic, 90% Wet, 50%/50% Faithful / Impress, 100% Real. Experiment with the Wet / Dry setting for a slightly different look. Dry reveal does not run unless you create a mask. Use your mouse to bring out more detail.”
“There are 3 palettes which all use virtually the same colors. However, each has a different “brush” texture. Experiment to see which one works best on a particular painting. “Paper” canvas is used by default; try “oil” or a custom canvas for interesting variations.”

Back in October 2009, Mary Warner posted this AOP. Unfortunately, the files were in the old forum and the links no longer work. Mary has been quite busy and hasn’t been able to edit her original post. As we can only edit our own posts, I’ve decided to upload my copies so any who would like to download this AOP can do so.

The file size prevents me from uploading the AOP into the Cafe. So instead, I’ve placed them on my account at Mediafire
The AOP files are in two parts:
The AOP itself which goes into the objectpack directory
TexturePaint.zip
The Help files which go into the Help directory
TexturedPaintHelp.zip

DreamyWatercolors AOP was created by Mary Warner and was posted in the old forum. Unfortunately, that is gone. The good news is Mary has agreed to allow me to upload my copy so others can enjoy her creativity.
Please note that the version I have did not include an image so I’ve taken the liberty to add one to the archive.
The first image on the left is one of mine and was ran using default settings at 6 meg resolution. I find if you increase the outline setting one or two notches, you get a bit more definition as can be seen in the second image. Also I’ll run this AOP usually at 10,000 strokes or better. All my personal tastes of course. As they say, YMMV

Inspired by: Cubism
Cubism was a 20th century avant-garde art movement, pioneered by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque, that revolutionized European painting and sculpture, and inspired related movements in music and literature.

In cubist artworks, objects are broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form—instead of depicting objects from one viewpoint, the artist depicts the subject from a multitude of viewpoints to represent the subject in a greater context.
Often the surfaces intersect at seemingly random angles, removing a coherent sense of depth. The background and object planes interpenetrate one another to create the shallow ambiguous space, one of cubism’s distinct characteristics.

Tip: Use Real-Surreal slider to control the broken effect. Control the no. of strokes to adjust the details

Rough Sketch! AOP & Help
I made an error in the first help file I put up – the image had a space in the file name and the html was looking for the file without the space. If you downloaded the first one you can either remove the space from the file name or redownload the above AOP zip that now has the correct name for the file.
I also put the correct AOP menu image in the zip.
Rough Sketch! AOP is meant to simulate quick sketching with a pen or a dark pencil on very smooth paper (no texture in the line). There are a couple color palettes in it but the main reason I created it was for the black and white line sketching effect. You can, of course, add any palettes you want to the AOP and tweak the color for your personal usage.
It is also quite interesting to use a (water)color AOP to block in background colors and then sketch over that with the black and white. I have included a couple samples here that show that effect.
