This may look like a photograph, but it is actually a virtual painting I did using a wonderful free program called "ArtRage". You can choose the size, colour and paper of the canvas, load a trace image, choose your paint or pen/pencil/chalk/crayon colour, wash your brush and even run out of paint on the longer oil strokes. I did this picture using this image as the trace image and set it to pick colours automatically. In a way it is cheating, but it gives a good effect.
