Oil painting in photoshop, is it
possible to get that oil brush work ina flat image? I was messing with
Photoshop yesterday trying to make
a photo look like a Rembrandt
painting.
A Rembrandt, yeah right, shut up, thats, nevergoing to happen
Okay aim lower, how about a hand painted art
effect? inspired by the colour palette of Rembrandt.
He used a technique called chiaroscuro. Its an Italian
word that basically means that you use dark

shadows with bright light. The theory is the contrast
gives a painting an intense depth that draws the eye
into the painting.
No photoshop filters required
I dont use many adobe ps filters, turns out most are
total crap. Try the art effects, they are shockingly
bad, nothing like what I would expect anyway. Rant
over, Im using ps cs5to get this oil painting effect,
but its so simple you could do it with any version.
You dont need any fancy filters(apart from sharpen),no graphics tablet, and to be honest very little skill to
achieve nice results from your photo. Im sure there
are third party filters that would get you close to this
oil painting effect but Im not using them here.

First off you need a good photo, the higher the

oil painting I tried to

resolution the better. This wont work so well with a
tiny 72dpi image, so get a good hires photo to start
with. Its also best, if you have your subject in the
middle of the frame, looking at the camera. You
could do this oil painting with any subject matter, but
for this tutorial well keep it simple.
Sit and watch the time lapse video of me working,
the oil painting technique is very easy. The basic
premise is that we are brushing over the top of the
original image with the smudge tool. Its all in the
brush workor in this case the mouse work and
goes something like this.

Lets break it down
1. Pick a big art brush (fan brush is good)
2. Select the smudge tool

http://simonstratford.com/oil-painting-in-photoshop/ 7/25
3. Duplicate your photo layer
4. Follow the contour of the face and smudge
very roughly at first
5. Use long flowing brush marks (the aim is to
smudge everything, eventually)
6. After you have smudged each area, like the
ear, flatten with the layer below
7. Adjust the Strength of the smudge tool to get
different effects.
8. Duplicate the layer and smudge again
Oil painting in photoshop tips
Change your paint brush, and brush size often, so
the brush marks are not all the same. The eye for
instance will need a smaller brush, the forehead a
bigger brush.
The fan brushis good for blending. Ive used it to
blend the edge of the person to the background, to
give that blurry, misty painting technique.

2/20/2016 Oil painting in photoshop my easy paint technique
http://simonstratford.com/oil-painting-in-photoshop/ 8/25
Push the paint around from dark areas to lighter
areas and vice versa. Use long and short brush
strokes. Dont worry if you make a mistake, just undo
or smudge the paint over the mistake.
Change the strength of the smudge tool, 80% isgood for strong bold brush marks, 40% is good to
blend the paint rather than smudge it. Less than 40%
produces very delicate results a bit like the blur tool.
You could use blur filter to blur the edge of the
figure, so it looks a bit more dreamlike. Be careful
not to over do it.
Just to recap:
Change the brush size often
Use the fan brush
Push colour around
Change the brush strength
Sharpen the image to get realistic brushstrokes

http://simonstratford.com/oil-painting-in-photoshop/ 9/25
Once you have finished your smudge painting, you
need to sharpen your image to reveal the brush
marks. This really brings the painting to life, it makes
it pop, and looks like real brush strokes it goes
something like this.
1. Duplicate your paint layer
2. Use filter/smart sharpen
3. Set Amount to 500% and radius of 1.8
(depending on your photo resolution, adjust)
A close up of the brush
work, as you can see
the sharpen effect really
brings out the brush
work. It gives it depth
so it looks a bit like
thick strokes of paint.

4. Look good? now knock back the opacity a
bit.
Optionally add a texture layer
Finally Ive added a kind of paint overlay to my whole
image and knocked it back. I just wanted some extra
texture in the background to give it a kind of aged
look. You dont need this, but I liked it.
This technique might sound complicated but trust
me its not, anyone can create an oil painting in
photoshop.

cheap. It can take well over 5 hrs work to create the
oil painting effect.
Ive proved that its not that difficult but it does take
time. Cost depends on your picture, the more
complex the more it costs. I generally charge around
150 for a print ready piece of artwork.
If you are interested youll need
A high resolution photograph (nothing shot
on your mobile phone)
A well lit photographA head a shoulder shot
Feel free to mail meto talk about your project.
That is all.

Nice tutorial.
You talk about a big art brush (fan brush is good)
I see several brushes in Photoshop, but no art brush collection.
Could you be more specific?

Jeroen at the time of creating this I was using cs5, Im using
photoshop cs6 now if you select the brush tool then click the
brushes drop down (top left) the fan brush is about the 14-16
brush. I think its always been there even in older versions of
photoshop.
Its not part of any art brush collection, its a basic brush, I call it
an art brush because it has a brush icon rather than a round
icon, and its a fan brush that traditional artists use (I think to

aged look.

How did you get the brush to also smudge the image as well?and which brush did you use? Did I need to smudge the whole
image or just the outline of his head (including ears)? Do I only
need the brush for the rest of the picture?

Thats a great tutorial! Thank you for showing us your method.
Overpainting really lifts a portrait, and a painted photo makes
a great gift too how often do people get their portraits
painted nowadays? Plus you can use it to get all sorts of cool
effects that cant be done in real life, or special lighting, props
or environments. A NZ-based artist that I know used a photo of
his son to create this illustration of Mark Twains Huckleberry
Finn for a recent exhibition, he made a process video and the
results are just gorgeous: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
