What were you trying to accomplish?
I was trying to create a painterly effect on a pre-existing image. I wanted to make the photo appear similar to that of an oil painting. I was also trying to create brush strokes that looked as smooth as possible to achieve the look of a painting.
What technical skills did you use?
For this project I used the mixer brush tool in photoshop. At first I used the reservoir feature of the mixer brush, but I decided to set the brush to use only the colors from the area I was making a brush stroke. More specifically, I made use of the various bristle brushes in photoshop. I used mostly the fan brushes, and occasionally used point brushes for the small details on the eyes of the cat.
How do you feel you did?
I think I did very well for my first attempt at a project such as this. I really like how the strokes on the fur of the cat turned out, as they appear very smooth. I found the boards of the deck to be a bit difficult seeing as how they were out of focus to begin with.
