Hello,
In this video, I'm gonna change this image into a watercolor painting.
You can do this with this image on the link in the description or one of your own..
First of all, let's open the image in gimp.
Duplicate the base image by typing ctrl shift D
Double click the copy and call it blur.
After that, go to filters and select Selective Gussian Blur.
Change the blur radius to 15.
And the max delta to 0.65
Then click OK.
Select the main layer on the layers panel and make a copy clicking ctrl shift D
Name this layer lines.
Move the layer up
Once your done, go to filters ,go to edge detect and click on Neon.
Change the Radius to 3.
And intensity to 0.060
Then click ok.
Go to colors and click invert.
Click on colors again, go down to desaturate.
Ensure the mode is on Luminance.
Then click ok.
Go back to colors and click brightness and contrast.
Change the brightness to -10
And contrast to 40.
Then click ok.
Now,change the mode to Multiply.
In the layers tab, make a copy of the blur layer and name it brushes.
Go to colors and click invert.
Click mode and change it to Dodge.
Now, to start painting,
Change the opasity to around 10.
Change the Brush to Acrylic 01.
Increase the size of the brush to around 700 and start painting.
Click the brush as much as you like to increase opacity, click on ctrl z to go back if not satisfied.
You can get the brush to start rotating around by going to dynamics and click on Track Direction.
You can move around with brush size and change the opacity to your liking.
And there we have it. A photo turned into a watercolor painting using Gimp.
I hope this video has been helpful,
