Example 3: Tree & Field. |
 |
This result is perhaps one of the more realistic of the fake paintings. The trick here is that the strokes are quite lightly packed compared to the other results, and the effect is applied to a duplicate of the layer you want to paint. Then you either show the original layer beneath, which adds a bit of detail under the painting, or show a pure black layer underneath to give it a moody, rough painted look. |
 |
For this image we used a triple column of strokes that incorporated all of the strokes we had created. Top row: chalkblock.psd, chalkblock2.psd, chalkblock3.psd. Middle row: chalk.psd, chalk2.psd, chalk3.psd. Bottom row: smallchalk.psd, smallchalk2.psd. smallchalk.3.psd. With the columns being randomly selected this gives a wider variety of strokes applied at each stage than the previous examples, and a more varied final effect. |

The basic settings to use for this preset are: Packing Panel.

Again, rotation is the key to creating this effect. The image we used had a few different hues, primarily a blue type, green type, and orange type. So, rather than using Hue to rotate the strokes (which would look to contrived) we use Saturation, which changes far more dramatically over the area. Using saturation as a variant can cause problems in some JPEG images, where the saturation 'channel' tends to suffer from heavy artifacting. The first 'after image' shows what the result looks like with the original shown beneath, and the second shows what it looks like with a pure black. Both effects are nice, and if you make sure you apply this to a copy of the layer, with 'Clear Underlying' checked on in the Packing Panel you can mix and match afterwards. |
