Replicating Exact Stroke Style

[Jinbrown]

Hi,

Since the image you show us is a .JPG file and that means it's compressed, and it appears not to be at the original size anyway, the image quality is too poor to see the brushstrokes in clear detail.

Consequently, it's difficult, if not impossible to suggest brush variants in Painter that would look the same or similar.

Just remember, though, if you're going to clone the portrait, you're not limited to brush variants found in the Cloners brush category. Most other brush variants can be used as Cloners by either:

• Depressing the Clone Color icon at the bottom of the Colors palette,

• Checking the Clone Color box in the Cloning section of the Brush Creator, Stroke Designer tab, or

• Checking the Clone Color box in the Brush Controls' Cloning palette.


You'll need to do some experimenting to find the brush variants that give you the desired effect.

Good luck with the project!

jenkin2 - That picture is a traditional oil painting. It's extremely difficult, if not impossible, to match the look of a traditional oil painting to the point where it can fool other artists. I've seen only a few examples where Painter artists managed to fool even me, but those examples were restricted to specific tools in Painter that produced a certain look. You can only fudge with all kinds of variants until you hit combinations that can get you close, but you need to know how to paint to begin with. This type of work is not the same thing as slapping on filters to a photograph--this requires real painting skills.

Photoshop will be even harder, since its brush engine was never designed to mimic traditional painting. You can create the illusion of natural media in Photoshop, but it'll be very obvious that it's digital if you take a closer look.
