Care to share what technique achieved the oil painting look?

- Brian Gaynor on March 19, 2012 at 10:36 am said:
  
  The technique was to bring the original capture into Corel Painter Essentials to “paint” the photograph. Once satisifed with the result, I overlayed this work with the original photograph.

    I had corel on my old computer, but could never do anything that satisfied me. It seems I always like what others do, but never think my own look good enough. thanks

Really a neat shot, Brian, I love it. The processing enhances the feel tremendously. Belongs in a frame for sure 😉
I used to drive through Elburn every day when I was in grad school…. brings back memories!

  Thanks Susie, I appreciate the feedback. You certainly know the area then — did you go to grad school at NIU or another Chicago area school?

    Good old NIU out in the corn fields 🙂 I was commuting there from Cary/Crystal Lake.
    People don’t realize how pretty Illinois is- it’s really quite lovely! I think it’s wonderful that you post so many photos showcasing that part of the Midwest.

I am a barn-oholic…and this one is just fantastic. You captured the personality of the structure so artistically…the only thing missing is the frame and a huge empty place to put it on!

Brian, I am enjoying your post processing more and more. It looks like you are getting very comfortable with the program. Can’t wait till you dub yourself a master at it and start making simple things like buttons look amazing! Keep it up!

  Thanks, Dan. Master? Not by any stretch of the imagination. In any case, I like to experiment with different textures, effects, and results to keep things interesting. Thanks for the support!
