How Can I?

Posted by Art Levine on February 2, 2011 at 1:56am

Hi,

Wondering how I can create an oil painting in SA to come close to the example I'm attaching. The first attachment is the original photograph. The second attachment is a painting done in another software program. I have experimented with many, many SA presets, but have yet to find one that simulates the type  of oil painting that I'm looking for.

Hope some of you might have some ideas, presets or suggestions to recommend.

Thanks,

Art

    not exactly sure which features of your target image you are liking most. If it is the swirly feature of stroke direction, you are probably going to be best off hand laying in the strokes. I suggest that you do this with path stroke record turned on. you can then try different presets with a cmd-k paint paths until you find an acceptable paint process.

     

    attached is a quick go at getting a textured paint look. No presets all imops. 2472641455?profile=RESIZE_1024x1024click on the image to see the detail

      Thanks. Where is the path stroke? Can you be a little more specific?  The rendition you created is what I'm looking for.

        2472631680?profile=originalselecting this option will cause SA to record your on canvas penstrokes. If you start with a blank canvas cmd-t will give you an onionskin of the source, so you can plan your strokes accordingly. you do not necessarily need put in enough strokes to cover everything. you might choose to fill the canvas with a simplified version and have the recorded strokes paint over that.

         

        The image I posted is the result of image operations and a msg generated camfer selection mask that I used to add some of the texture.

         

        I am dealing with a hard drive that I accidentally over filled - so it won't mount now.. when I get it all sorted I can post the basics.

Is anybody making a copy of all the material in the Tutorials Forum

Since the Forum is going away in June, has anyone started to make a copy of all the stuff in the Tutorials forum?I've made copies of some of the tutorial material on the main site, but haven't looked at the Tutorial Forum yet.I'm going to continue copying as much as I can for my own personal use anyway, but if anyone else is doing it, or has already started doing it, please let me know.Maybe we can co-ordinate our efforts. ps can't ..... believe John, would let this happen without so much as a…

Studio Artist is in Italy!

I was crawling the streets of Matera, Italy today and may have discovered where SA is hiding!  (see attached photo). Not meaning to make light of this great, sad mystery. But I just couldn't resist as I try to make sense of what's happening. Losing my connection to SA, Synthetik and John has been a great sadness... and if real, ends a monumental era in my creative life. love,~Victor
