Today's piece was created using Artist's Touch, an app I've only just started exploring. It's a bit similar to Corel's Paint It! Now in that it produces faux painting and drawing effects, but it differs in that it doesn't apply the effect while you sit and wait; you have to 'paint' the effect on yourself with your finger or stylus, thus affecting the position and direction of the brushstrokes depending on the settings (brush size, background, tool style, et cetera.) In that sense it's a lot more flexible than Corel's Paint It! Now.
As I've explained before I don't like using this kind of app for photos that turn out well. I prefer saving them for the ones that need help. This out-of-focus photo of some flowers belonging to my mother had an amazing colour palette that I wanted to make use of for iPhone wallpaper so I played with it in Artist's Touch. I used what I think is the pastels filter on it (they're pictures of brushes and drawing tools that are unlabeled) and kept the brush size very large. I loved the brightness of the colours and how the app carried them over into each other a bit and it now resides on my iPhone screens.
