Valentina Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I'd like to learn how to make this painting effect. Examples are from Maria Svarbova and this is the link: https://www.behance.net/gallery/34353093/SWIMMING-POOL I'll upload the picture I'd like to use to learn this technique next.

Valentina Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 I have 2 options, 1 SOOR with very slight adjustments made on the SOOC (not sure what to do, given the uncommon edit) and 1 SOOR with much lower clarity (I like the effect on the sea, not sure if loosing details on the people will make things difficult later on PS).

Valentina Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 one PS attempt. It's a different painting effect, with much less detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 To my eye, the reason the style is so effective is because of those areas of very vivid colour (red swimsuits). Do you have any photos with a bolder area of colour like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damien Symonds Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I'm struggling. Is this anywhere close? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valentina Posted April 19, 2016 Author Share Posted April 19, 2016 Haha, getting close. I don't intend to replicate her style, just want to learn how to give a painting feeling to a picture, in order to find a personal way to use this technique. I am interested to know how you gave that effect to the sea and to the orange and red parts. I guess solid layers at different opacities but would love to know if I am right and the details. I would like to see more details in the skin and to make it whiter/desaturated (not greeninsh/grayrish like now) and to keep color and some more details in hair and shorts. Thanks for the help!
