watercolour, crayon and Photoshop™

Last week I read an article in the Travel Section of the Globe &
Mail about fascinating (and, in my opinion, very paintable) places that most of
us have never heard of.
They were all in South America, and this is one of them – Potosi,
Bolivia. ‘To a place less real’ is the result of running a more realistic painting
of Potosi, with which I wasn’t entirely delighted, through my favourite
Photoshop filter.
I’ve sometimes wondered why the special
effects capabilities of Photoshop are referred to as ‘Filters’... Maybe it’s
because you can use them to filter out the parts of a picture you don’t like.
