Portrait Painting Effects

In photoshop I made a duplicate layer selected image, adjustments, posterize, level 4, the background was black I used the magic wand to select the black background, filter. filter gallery select one you like, apply it, paint brush, color. I chose dark red then paint it, burn tool darken the corners, render, lighting effects, soft spotlight, Gaussian Blur 30%. That's how you can mess up a perfectly good portrait but it was fun.
