Amazing! How do you DO that?

Hi Alexia

It was easy really, I used an add-on to an earlier version of coral paint, called Alchemy, which allow you to transfoem any image into a "painterly" version by automatically applying brushstrokes to the image. The special thing about alchemy, apart from it is slow, is it has lots of user controls including changing the brush shape (to text in this case) colour, size and angle.
