Advanced Photoshop Tutorial - A Classical Portrait Photoshop Painting

 

For this photo-art tutorial, we have chosen a rather difficult subject, the portrait of a beautiful woman, to put to the test the combinations of Photoshop tools and filters in creating a digital painting in the classical style of Madame X by John Singer Sergent. The file size is 3.9 megapixels.

 

Save a copy of the original photo in the clipboard (Select All and Copy).

 

Open the Layers Box in the Window Menu. Create a duplicate layer by clicking Command-J (or drag the background to the New Layer Icon)

 

 

 

Set the foreground color in the toolbar to a gray tone (approximately 60% black) and the background color to white.

 

 

Click on Filter>Sketch>Chalk and Charcoal
Slide the Charcoal Area ruler to 6
Slide the Chalk Area ruler to 20
Slide the Stroke Pressure ruler to 1

 

 

 

 

Click on Filter>Brush Strokes>Spatter
Set Spray Radius to 10 and Smoothness to 5. Click OK.

 

 

 

 

 

Set the Current Layer to Luminosity in the Layers Palette.

 

Flatten the Image and save the file under a new name.
