Oil Paint Filter Workflow for More Natural Looking Images

Posted on 11/11/2013 by Eric Renno

Over the past couple of months I’ve been exploring the Oil Paint filter in Photoshop. One of the things I wasn’t happy about was the swirly, un-natural effect it was encouraging. So, I’ve come up with a workflow to help create more natural looking images, with a more natural paint feel to them.

This technique is very easy and as you can see, even with explanation this one only takes 12 minutes to achieve.

In this tutorial I make reference to an earlier video called Photoshop Textures and Texture Extension
