Yesterday, I was listening to the TWIP (“This Week In Photo”) podcast. As one of the picks of the week, Ron recommended some iPhone apps — Waterlogue and Tangled FX — both of which I have used. This morning I made an image of a vase with daffodils, that I gave the Waterlogue treatment; a watercolor effect.

While visiting the iTunes store, I found another app, Glaze, that gives an oil painting effect. This app has several oil effects that I liked. So, I thought, I wonder what oil paintings look like in black and white (50 Shades of Grey)? I took the same original photo into Glaze and then processed in Snapseed as a black and white image. After a little burning and dodging, I got the following image.
Daffodil, Glazed Monochrome
