Did you know that you can create a watercolor effect with your own photos?
I used the Watercolor Filter {Filter -> Artistic -> Watercolor} in Photoshop Elements; but there are other ways to achieve this effect using more basic programs, like the Waterlogue App or the free Photo Editing program called “Gimp.”
You may have to apply the effect several times to get the desired look. I applied the filter 3 times and then made the image slightly transparent {at 70%} to achieve that faded, watercolor effect.
We’ve got a lot of architectural and landscape art in our Dining Room, so this is a nice personal touch.
Do you have any precious photos waiting to become a work of art?
