Watercolour Challenge

Cafe Scene, Saumur (Photo Watercolour edited in Adobe Photoshop CC)
It was a bit of a wet day today so I thought I would pass the time trying out some photo painting to create a watercolour effect with some of my images. I did a bit of research over the past couple of days and there are lots of ways of doing this, some more complex than others.  Today I discovered this guy (Seven Styles) who has produced a Photoshop Action file that randomly convertes your image into a watercolour.  It takes a bit of adjustment afterwards to get it the way you want it but it is certainly effective.  The top image is of a small square in Saumur where we had a coffee and ice cream a couple of summers ago.  I have always wanted to paint this kind of scene in watercolour, so I thought I would try it out digitally.  I like the effect although it is a bit of a cheat I guess.

The following are a few more examples from my experimentation this afternoon and evening.  As always, feedback is welcome.
