Gareth - As far as I know, Topaz Studio is still free and comes with a limited set of adjustments. Still, there's a great deal that can be done with it and as all the presets have been created by users, they're free to download, use and modify.

Topaz Studio - Once it's up and running, do a search on Chinese Watercolor (US spelling) and away you go! As usual with presets, some images given the watercolour treatment look dreadful.

The oil paint filter does give some interesting results, though and your ivy leaves look very good indeed. Nice one!
