I used a basic soft brush that has a reasonable degree of blur already in it. Then, I apply some extra blur, in this case a circular motion Gaussian blur. Finally, I apply a G'MIC filter called Gradient Norm using its default values, second image:

If you look closely at this image you will see that there are lots of contour lines as well as a wi
