For those who are interested in "how to do a painting in PS" here's my tutorial
1. Load the picture you want to paint. (It will be your background layer)
2. Go to "Layers" Click Layer - Click New Layer - Click OK (you will now have layer 1)
3. Go to "Edit" Click Fill - make sure it is set as, white on Normal at !00% - Click OK
(you will have a white sheet.) Go to your layers palette and turn the opacity down to 45%. You'll be able to see you picture again..
4. In tools, use your "Art History Brush" (I use a dry media brush that's rectangular and looks a little like a sponge) You want to use it with the settings, Mode: normal, Opacity:100%, Style: tight short, Area: 50 pixels, Tolerance: 0
5. Start painting! Use the same brush at different sizes as you paint. Dont' worry about staying in the lines...painters don't. And, you can always go back and clean it up. Just play and see what amazing things this brush will do.
6. Create a "Background Copy" by right clicking on your Background Layer in your layers palette and picking "Duplicate Layer". Click OK
7. With your mouse, click and hold the background copy and move it to the top of the layers.
8. Go to Filter and click Stylize, Find Edges. Click OK. Turn your opacity down to 25%.
9. Create a new Fill Layer in your layers palette by clicking the thing on the bottom of your layers palette that looks a little like a basketball. Round.
When you open it, you have quite a few choices. Click on Levels.
10. Now, you can adjust your lighting on the picture with the sliders adding some black, midtones and white. When you get it the way your want it, click OK.
11. At this point, you can go back into your painting (if you want) by clicking on Layer 1 and paint some more OR if/when you're finished, right click on the Background Layer to flatten your layers.
(I added a canvas texture to this just to give the feel...)
You wil be amazed how this prints out. Doesn't look as good on the web as it does a print! So, if you ever wanted to turn your photographs into a painting, this is a great way to do it.....
