Default Painted Lavenders

I like the way there is a painted watercolour look, all i did in pp was saturation, vibrance and contrast.



im looking for a good texture to overlay to make it look like canvas.

I like the high contrast blue against white. Why not try printing it on canvas?

Neat effect. I can't tell if the background is actually tinted blue, or if that's just a sort of optical illusion from the blue in the flowers -- you should check with a photo editor, however.

I might also crop off a bit of the top -- you have a lot of open space there, and I think that removing some of it might be pleasing.
