Outstanding analysis, Barliman. The final effect I used on them was called "Lylejk's Painting". I found it in Krita's version of GMIC (a bundle of add-on layer effects), and was so impressed by what it did to the trees that I looked him up online. Lylejk's work (real name Lyle Kroll) is so reminiscent of the impressionists that I was surprised by it. Its like a cross between Monet and Seurat, but also has a flowing line tendency that far more expressionist - like Van Gogh but finer - thread to his rope. Lyle's work is highly variable between pieces, but then I suppose artists have to be versatile and interesting these days rather than sticking to just one style and medium.

I studied the history of Art at college 34 years ago, but I've forgotten vast tracts of it since then. Aside from the classic giants like Leonardo and Michelangelo, most of what sticks in my mind is 19th century French Impressionist and early 20th century expressionist, which might explain the bright and complimentary colours I tend towards.

(its pretty difficult matching tree styles with buildings, but I hope you like them)
