[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is one of the beautiful homes near downtown Savannah, Georgia. My wife, mother, and I were vacationing there a couple of years ago and were just walking through the neighborhoods admiring the historic architecture. I liked the home especially for the ivy covering the front.

Rather than just post a straight photo of it, I experimented with a technique I found here, by Richard Juneau (richardj7) and specifically his "Small Church Quebec City" post. I was inspired by his "partially completed" artwork, and since he was kind enough to include his workflow, I was able to emulate what he had done.

I am intrigued by the technique, and am eager to practice and experiment with it. I've been looking for a good "sketch" action, but too many of them are too automatic and don't allow for customization. Richard's technique affords plenty of creativity and tweaking.

I've posted the original as a workshop.

Let me know what you think!

This is interesting work. I think I would have left more color in the ivy and the roof, they seem to 'wash out'.

Having shot a lot of architecture, perspective distortion always bothers me -- the corner of the building leaning strongly to the left, for instance. You can correct for that now in software.

Hello Robert!

Sorry I missed your latest shots. Extensive Pp work you did here . The effect is pretty good. it reminds me the prints sold to tourists in the Old Quebec and old Montreal.

I might have corrected the perspective here to straightened the right side and add a bit more colors . Here it looks like an ''aquarelle''. A bit too pale IMHO. Well I better stop. I just read now Ten said the same thing .....

Keep on experimenting.
