How to clone the effect of an oil painting
Below you will find an overview of
all the brushes that are used for
this painting:
01 The Hair Blender brush is based
on the Captured Bristle brush. Use
this to blend hair and create wisps.
02 The Digital Airbrush paints soft
highlights and shadows.
03 The Small Highlights brush is
based on the Charcoal brush and
is used for small reflections on the
lips, eyes and skin.
04 We used the Impressionists
Blender brush in order to fill in
the background.
05 The Background Mixer brush
mixes colours and creates a
marbling effect.

06 The Cloud Color brush from
the Sponges category creates
painterly dabs.
07 The Grainy Water brush is used
for blending the skin and blurring
the background.
08 The Oils Opaque Round brush
is used to create the painterly
reflections in the eyes.
You can find the instructions
for creating all of these brushes
on the disc.

Tutorial Clone a portrait in oils
Save your
work
During the process
of making the oil-
painted portrait, many
brushstrokes and
layers are added and
many changes made.
To keep control over
your workflow it can
be very useful to insert
several save points.
This way, you can keep
different copies of
your work during the
process and you have
more control over your

work. You can go back
to earlier versions
in case you decide
something needs to
be changed.

Make it easy
on yourself
When blending hair
and painting wisps and
strands of hair, it can
sometimes be difficult

to get control over
your brushstrokes.
To make it easier, you
can select the Rotation
tool from the Toolbox
and rotate your
painting to an angle
that makes it easier
for you to paint.

Tracking
Brush Tracking is
a great tool that
enables you to adjust
the intensity and
resistance of your

brush. When you go to
Edit>Brush Tracking,
a scratch pad will
appear. Making a
scribble with much
pen pressure gives
more resistance when
painting, and less
paint will appear on
the canvas.

Composition
When changing a
photo into a painting,
keep in mind that it
can be necessary to
alter the composition.
Maybe the photo itself
isn’t taken in the best
way or there is not
enough space around
the subject. Getting
the composition right
from the start will be
of great importance
for the end result.
A good way to check
the composition
is by flipping the
image horizontally.

Tutorial Improve your portraits
Make it
glamorous
Want to add some
eyeshadow? Create a
layer on top of your
eye painting and set
the Blending Mode
to Colorize. Now pick

some colour and get
creative! When set
to Colorize, only the
colour properties
of this layer are
imposed on the
picture below and you
don’t lose any detail.
This means that you’ll
no longer have to
dodge between each
individual eyelash!
What’s that
coming over
the hill?
Whether you’re
trying to make your
viewer laugh, cry,
think or just look
more carefully, try
adding an extra twist
to your painting by
elaborating on the
reflection in the eyes.
A space ship, zombie
attack or perhaps just
some windows – make
the most of what you
have in order to tell
the story.
