Photography Tidbits

Chances are you have tons of photographs lying around. A few may be digital while others are old fashioned Polaroids. Many of us would like to convert photos to oil painting but aren’t sure “how” to do this.

When we were younger, artists would simply gaze at photos and magically convert them to oil paintings by eye. Artists would use the photo as a frame of reference and sketch the photo, fill it and paint it…layer by layer.

Nowadays, the scene has changed. With the introduction of digital software programs like Corel Painter, Adobe Photoshop and PaintShop Pro, many people are attempting to paint their photos. Many realize it really isn’t that easy and still requires a lot of work.

The majority of people that give painting a shot give up. You see, the same principles that apply to the old days still applies to the digital age. You have to be gifted with art to create your own paintings by yourself. So the next obvious choice is outsourcing, or asking someone else to paint your photos.
