This tutorial demonstrates how to produce an Impressionist-painting - (visible brush strokes). To work along, you are welcome to download the Start Images I am working with Here. Unzip the file and open the image onto Photoshop Elements’ workspace.
Undo Note You can step backwards at any time by clicking the top menu’s Undo Tool.
1/ Open your Start Image onto Elements’ workspace; File then Open: Ctrl then O.
Tip Centralise your photograph by snapping it to the top menu’s orange horizontal line.
2/ Now, from the top menu, choose Filter then choose Brush Strokes then choose Sprayed Strokes. From the subsequent dialogue box, enter the following settings, or experiment, then click OK.
Tip For a deeper effect, reapply the Sprayed Strokes Filter, (Ctrl then F).
Tip For personal results, experiment with different Brush Stroke filters.
Tip For extra clarity, apply a Sharpening Filter: from the top menu, choose Enhance then select a Sharpening Filter of your choice.
3/ Congratulations, your Impressionist-painting Conversion is complete and is ready to save.
Now you are familiar with this technique, you can have lots of fun converting your favourite photographs into Impressionist-paintings.
