What You'll Be Creating
In this tutorial you will learn how to create an amazing painting effect. I will explain everything in so much detail that everyone can create it, even those who have just opened Photoshop for the first time.
The effect shown above is the one I will show you how to create in this tutorial. If you would like to create the even more advanced painting effects shown below, as simply and quickly as possible, then check out my Painterly Photoshop Action.
What You'll Need
To recreate the design above, you will need the following resources:
1. Let's Get Started
First, open the photo that you want to work with. To open your photo, go to File > Open, choose your photo, and click Open. Now, before we get started, just check a couple of things:
- Your photo should be in RGB Color mode, 8 Bits/Channel. To check this, go to Image > Mode.
- For best results, your photo size should be 2000–3000 px wide/high. To check this, go to Image > Image Size.
- Your photo should be the Background layer. If it is not, go to Layer > New > Background from Layer.
2. How to Create a Painting Effect
Step 1
In this section, we are going to create a painting effect. Press Control-J on your keyboard to duplicate the Background layer. Then, go to Filter > Stylize > Oil Paint and enter the settings below:
Step 2
Now name this layer Painting Effect. Then, press Control-J on your keyboard to duplicate this layer, go to Filter > Sharpen > Smart Sharpen, and set the Amount to 500%, Radius to 1.5 px, and Remove to Gaussian Blur.
Step 3
Name this layer Painting Sharpening.
3. How to Add Textures
Step 1
In this section, we are going to add some textures to the design. Go to File > Place Embedded, select the texture from the first texture link, and click Place. Then, set the Width and Height of the texture to 530.02% as shown below, and name this layer Texture_1.
Step 2
Now change the Blending Mode of this layer to Soft Light.
Step 3
Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Black & White to create a new black & white adjustment layer, and name it Texture_1_Desaturate.
Step 4
Now press Control-Alt-G on your keyboard to create a clipping mask.
Step 5
Go to File > Place Embedded, select the texture from the second texture link, and click Place. Then, set the Width and Height of the texture to 75.28% and the Angle to 90°, and name this layer Texture_2.
Step 6
Now change the Blending Mode of this layer to Soft Light and drag it just below the Texture_1 layer in the Layers panel.
Step 7
Select the Texture_1_Desaturate layer and press Control-J on your keyboard to duplicate it. Then, drag this layer just above the Texture_2 layer in the Layers panel.
Step 8
Now press Control-Alt-G on your keyboard to create a clipping mask. Name this layer Texture_2_Desaturate.
4. How to Make the Final Adjustments
Step 1
In this section, we are going to make final adjustments to the design. Select the Texture_1_Desaturate layer, go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Curves to create a new curves adjustment layer, and name it Color Look.
Step 2
Now Double-click on this layer thumbnail and in the Properties panel enter the settings below:
Step 3
Set the Opacity of this layer to 81%.
Step 4
Now go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Vibrance to create a new vibrance adjustment layer and name it Overall Vibrance/Saturation.
Step 5
Double-click on this layer thumbnail and in the Properties panel, set Vibrance to +34 and Saturation to +20.
Step 6
Go to Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Levels to create a new levels adjustment layer and name it Overall Brightness.
Step 7
Now Double-click on this layer thumbnail and in the Properties panel enter the settings below:
Step 8
Press Control-Alt-Shift-E on your keyboard to make a screenshot, and then press Control-Shift-U to desaturate this layer. Then, go to Filter > Other > High Pass and set the Radius to 2 px.
Step 9
Now change the Blending Mode of this layer to Hard Light and set the Opacity to 38%. Name this layer Overall Sharpening.
You Made It!
Congratulations, you have succeeded! Here is our final result:
If you would like to create the even more advanced painting effects shown below, as simply and quickly as possible, then check out my Painterly Photoshop Action.
The action comes in two versions: regular and quick. The regular version of the action needs about 10-20 minutes to complete because it creates real paint strokes. It also requires a little bit of work from your side (the video tutorial guides you through the whole process, making this part easy and fun). The quick version of the action simulates a paint stroke effect, producing a less realistic effect than the regular version, but it runs in less than a minute. The action includes canvas and paint crack textures and creates ten different
color looks that you can choose from.
It comes with a detailed video tutorial that demonstrates how to use the action and customize the results to get the most out of the effect.
