Turn ANY Photo into an Oil Painting!

[@AffinityRevolution]

I have a gift for you! 😊It's a free Affinity Photo course that will teach you 10 simple steps to make any photo amazing. I hope you love it! affinity.sale/10-steps

[@mrMinstrel]

Amazing! ...you do realize what a 'stress' reliever your videos are, don't you? I totally forgot how crazy the world is for a moment. Keep on keeping on!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@IdahoSAM.]

My wife asked me "why would you want to do that with a photo?" I replied, "Because you CAN!" Thanks for a fun video. Now to go and find a fun family photo to practice on!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Haha I love it! That's the spirit of a fun life. 😊

Oh man, I must be a bad person. Her voice is like fingernails on a chalkboard. I can't watch/listen. Sorry.

[@TEESCOTT333]

You and Ezra have taught me so much. I purchased the tutorials and enjoyed the free ones as well. Thank you so much for taking the time out to make such detailed tutorials. I've truly gained so much from them.

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you! I'm really glad you've been able to learn so much. 😊

[@tedr5182]

I have the App in iPad Pro too, I’ll try this technique!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Awesome! 😊

[@tonypmedia]

AHHH so great to hear her voice in 2020 right now ... mmm I feel so much better now.

[@AffinityRevolution]

Aww, thank you! 😊

@@AffinityRevolution Whatever you do, DO NOT change that song either. That song has a nice flare that seems to have that intro feel when you step in lol.

[@stevewhiteley9249]

As others have said, you have a beautiful voice, I could listen to that all day! Thanks for this walk-through, I was able to make a first attempt which was a good start. I would mention that the smudge brush did not appear to be available when I was using Affinity Pro, however I was able to find it by clicking on the little drop down arrow by the tool that was in its place by default on my desktop.

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you for pointing out the problem you ran into, and its solution! That's very helpful for other people. 🙂

[@kyvacipes]

You are so amazing! Those tutorials are the best.

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@kaizen_5091]

Wow. I never thought to use this brush tool in this way. Very cool!

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it! 😊

[@hilderemerie1649]

Everytime I watch and tryout your video's I learn a new thing. Like the alt tab when you want to change the colour of your brush :) And the end results are awsome looking :)

[@AffinityRevolution]

Thank you Hilde! 😊

[@stephenstevenson1900]

Very nicely done Ally! You have given me so many ideas for this affect. Thanks so much.

[@AffinityRevolution]

You're welcome! Happy to hear you enjoyed the video. 😊

[@super0chick]

We love you Ally and Ezra, I picked up a lot of knowledge on Affinity. After trying to work on Affinity on the ipad, I noticed that there are a few functions that is just not there as it is on windows and mac. So, I just bought affinity for windows. sigh.... But now, I want to buy the course offered from you guys. yay! more fun. Thank you again.

[@AffinityRevolution]

Ya, the iPad version is 95% as good, but it's missing a few things. I like working on the Mac/PC version better. I hope you enjoy it too!

[@malhamishery9]

I agree with all of the previous glowing comments below. You guys are only one step away from perfection. That step is to "offer" a downloadable PDF like cliff notes even if for a modest fee or subscription. I can envision them your tutorials in a three ring binder or separate folder. While this is one of your shorter lessons; others are longer and require multiple settings and steps. When attempting the those more complex techniques, they require re-watching all or some parts of the tutorial to follow. Having reference notes would be another quality differentiator from the rest of your KZbin Affinity competitors. Great job and thanks!!

[@AffinityRevolution]

That's a good idea, thanks! 😊

[@nerrelloader4226]

This was a really good tutorial Ally. I turned a flower photograph that I wasn't quite happy with, I knew it was missing something, and created it into an oil painting flower, now I think it looks great. Thank you! :)

[@AffinityRevolution]

That's wonderful! I'm glad your flower turned out well. 😊

[@muskokasightsandsounds8017]

Fantastic lesson, I loved it, thank you Ally and Ezra... i usually photograph landscapes, so I am going to try and apply what I learned today on doing a watercolour painting effect... I love your videos , easy to follow along and you supply everything we need.. Thank you ...

[@AffinityRevolution]

I haven't tried this effect on a landscape photo - I hope it turns out great! 😄

[@travelgeezer]

This is a REALLY useful tutorial. I've applied your steps to several images of redwood forests with good results. It would be very helpful if you'd create a landscape oil brush tutorial that covered how to handle backgrouds, midplanes and foregrounds.

[@AffinityRevolution]

[@ramonzeira]

Can you do that in a mask layer so you can undo a section?

[@AffinityRevolution]

You can't use a mask for this technique, but you CAN use the Undo Brush (which is right above the Smudge Tool). I didn't think of using that tool until right now, but that would work perfectly for undoing parts you want to redo. 😊

[@ramonzeira]

@@AffinityRevolution Thank you.

[@cchico41]

I just purchased the software but it doesn't have the smudge brush! how do add this?

[@AffinityRevolution]

By default, you will see the "blur brush" near the bottom of the tools (it looks like a rain drop). Click on the little triangle under that tool, and then you can select the smudge brush. :)

[@gamerel5028]

With wich color do you paint oil? If i paint in white it changes the whole color of the image.

[@AffinityRevolution]

I sample the colors that are already in the photo. You can see me doing that in this part of the video. 😊 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bn2cpoeOjNWpl9U

[@nickread354]

Great lesson as always, I shall be experimenting using this technique. However, can I make the suggestion that if you want to print your artwork on a canvass substrate - turn off the texture layer! I found this out the hard way - before I retired, we had a brand new wide format canvas printer at work, and I took the opportunity to “test” with my own artwork several times - with texture layer on, it looked very odd - with it turned off, perfect!
