As I refined the image using smaller brushes, the entire painting cleaned up nicely. Remember that there’s no right or wrong way to do this. If you’re getting results that you want, then you are doing it the right way. At this point, I turned off the tracing paper. I didn’t want to use the background from the original photograph in the image.

Instead, I wanted to paint something that would make the portrait even more like a traditional oil painting. To achieve this, I painted the background of the image freehand like I would with a regular painting.

Turning off the impasto effect temporarily removed some of the distracting three-dimensional strokes and let me concentrate on getting the correct colors and values in the background. The painting was starting to look like a traditional oil painting. Using smaller brushes, I continued to refine the features by pulling color from the original photograph.

I didn’t want the impasto to be as noticeable in the face as in the hair and background, so I used a lighter stroke to lessen the effect. I wanted the background to look more like a piece of artist’s canvas, so I customized a paper texture to look like canvas. The Variable Chalk brush interacts wonderfully with paper textures. Then I roughly paint in a texture that looks like canvas in the corners of the image.

The default settings weren’t quite what I wanted so I tweaked a few things in the Apply Surface Texture dialog box. When you do this, make sure that you’re using the same paper texture you used to paint the original canvas.

This gave the painted canvas layer a nice, subtle – but definitely three-dimensional – appearance. Course outline. Introduction Hide these tips.
