How To Make a Fun Oil Painting Pet Portrait in Photoshop

Follow along with today's Photoshop tutorial to turn your pet into a renaissance masterpiece. We'll use a public domain oil painting of a 19th century Dutch General as the source, then combine some Photoshop filters to apply the painterly look to a digital photograph to blend the two images into a comedic portrait that is cute, surreal and hilarious at the same time!

Hello Spoon Graphics! I know this video is 4 years old and you probably won’t see this but I am a teen looking for ways to make some summer money and I took a digital arts class at school and my teacher showed me this video and this gave me an idea to start a doggie oil painting photoshop business and the reason why I’m talking about this is if I have permission to do this and if I do I will credit your videos and link my pictures sent to the customers the credit on who taught me who to do this! Thank you for your time to read this (if you are) 😊

[@spoongraphics]

Sad news from the Spooner household... Yesterday we had to say goodbye to our dog Jake 😢 He will always be remembered with this image taking prime placement on our kitchen wall

[@nickberry5338]

Hey I'm sorry about your dog. I've had pets die as well, and I tell myself that having them in my life to take care of, even for a little, while was a gift to both of us that will stay with me always.

[@johnkeets1984]

😭

[@laligabelaya6513]

I am sorry :(

[@21grams91]

I am so sorry for your loss.. what a handsome doggie Jake was.. God rest his beautiful soul. Thank you for this amazing tutorial with Jake as the star.⭐️

[@saveyourbestlife3280]

I am so sorry for your loss. We love our pets so very much! (Thanks to your video and the power of the internet, Jake is more famous than Antonie Frederik Jan Floris Jacob Baron van Omphal ever was!!)

[@thevisi0naryy]

I've come back to this video at least 10 times over the last couple of years, I make these as gifts for friends & family. Thank you for the tutorial.

[@irynalk9231]

Great lesson ,thanks! Usually I also draw the fur on the edges of the pet and add a shadow under it's head and ear(s). On this image I'd made less contrast of the dog's head.

Have you ever found that you've been looking for years, and when you least expect it and you say all sorts of crazy things of your excitement. I was like " yes yes I love you I love you I love you....". You can imagine what people in the room thought when they heard me.

A friend of mine bought one of these portraits... I bet the seller learned it from YOU! D:

[@sarahw2938]

Thank you so much for this! I wanted to get one of these for my Dad for Fathers Day but didn’t think he’d really want a canvas picture of it to hang (especially not for $50 and up!). This was a perfect tutorial and now I have a digital file I can print myself for a fraction of the price! I am an absolute beginner with Photoshop and your tutorial was very clear and easy to follow. I had to pause it A LOT to find all the things you were clicking on, but I got through it and I love the result!

[@rohithpadikkal7082]

its been two years, have you mastered photoshop? how did you go about learning it? asking because i'm a beginner!

[@sweetiei.8403]

Oh WOW! that is amazing! Can you do another tutorial to show how to turn an entire pet photo in painting photo (not just a head)?XD

[@adorkable]

Hey this tutorial was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much! My only issue is that in order to clip my cats head his whiskers got cut off :( any suggestions on how to put the whiskers back on him?

[@iFrubby]

Thanks allot! I will use this as a gift for christmas for my boyfriend :)

[@manusara]

Mega Good

[@manusara]

Very Good

[@pablorisco1863]

wich version of photoshop are you using? thanks! your videos are truly amazing!

[@apfelninja]

Never have I ever watched a video about something I already knew how to do, and then walk away with a different way or every single step I had in the first place. Sometimes I get one or two new things in place of my existing knowledge, and sometimes I had no idea walking in, but this one kept me on the fringes the whole time. I feel assaulted lol

[@Camish911]

My doggo didn't turn out as well as yours, but still pretty good (in my opinion) considering it was my first time using photo shop. So thanks!!

[@schnatzinator7713]

KATZENFROSCH

[@CodyLScaggs]

This video was perfect, and very easy to follow along. One question I have, is how would you make the cracks stand out on a pet with white fur? I'm trying with a white cat right now and everything looks good, but you can't see the imperfections on the face due to the white color. Any tips? Thanks again for the help!

[@sketchalater4656]

This is exactly what those "Pet Portrait" companies/sellers on etsy/facebook/fiver do! And it's ridiculous how pricey they are. This tutorial proves that it only takes a few minutes to make. People are better off learning how to do it themselves. it's far cheaper, you can customize it however you'd like, it's more fun to make it yourself, and you can make as many as you want without breaking the bank

[@piashpaul7654]

nice
