“Bougainvillea”

Manipulated Photograph

This photograph is of an outdoor seating area at my local coffeehouse. It is adjacent to a supermarket parking lot. In Photoshop I airbrushed out some cars and a shopping basket. Then I created a second layer to which I applied a filter called “underpainting” which I reduced to a 50% opacity. Then I merged the layers and applied various artistic brush filters and noise filters until I acheived a “painted” effect.
