Watercolor collection

A collection of my experiments to affect a watercolor painting style using the two-dimensional, Inkscape drawing software.

Inkscape filter effect for Web bullets and badges

My favorite Inkscape 0.47 filter effect for Web buttons, bullets and badges is "stained glass."

Below are some other examples of filter effects applied to the same shapes, for comparison.

The background gradient is a gradient blend. The technique for achieving this effect is described elsewhere in this blog. It is not built into Inkscape like the filters used to create these examples.

More watercolor experiments using Inkscape 0.47 filters and brushes on a rough, quick sketch.

Watercolor Flower

More filter-effects experiments.
Two brush tools were used in this painting: wiggly and brush.
Different widths and transparencies were set also: wider and more translucent for pastels and thinner darker contrasting colors in the foreground.

I am not happy with the foregorund, so this painting still needs work.
