Soft Roses

Soft Roses, a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

Tonight I made digital image with my Painter software, using a pattern pen and a pattern that I created from one of my photos of a rose. I used a transparent pattern pen on a peach background, and made just a few strokes, keeping them all in the same direction. I posterized the whole image. Then I used a pink color overlay, and chose "luminosity of original image", which created a kind of glowing effect (which I actually tuned down a bit). Then I cropped this image and this is the result.
