Description

A remix of the "A Watercolor Painting" by Northernshadow, I added some more controls so that I could make pure abstrations that had painting and line drawings combined.

For a really strange effect, run this on a portrait...

The Controls are as follows:
Angle - for blurring into faux oils
Directional - angle of blur
Distortion - ammount of distortion on the original image
Radius - Ammount of applied blur
Hue Wash 1&2 - coloring controls
Opacity Details - just what it says
Opacity Wash 1 & 2 - again simple
Paper Contrast - Tweak the texture
Saturation Wash 1 & 2 - just what it says
Mode Checkbox - gives you just a line version

Original info from filter:
"Turn any photo or image into a watercolor painting controlling Hue, Saturation and Opacity of the 2 'washes'.
Detail and Paper are also adjustable."
