    This is a photo enhanced to be a painting. You can take a drawing in Xara, and make it look completely real, but from that, you could make it look like it was done on canvas.

    It is just another method to produce a pleasing picture.

    Right now I am using the technique to see when I might want to use it at work, I have many photos I have to prepare for memorial services and such.

    Probably more for free lance and my own families use.

    If you know how strokes should look on canvas, it is a technique most people could learn. This is done in ArtRage, Photoshop and Painter for the impasto effect. If you are doing this as a hobby, Google is a good source of finding pictures to learn the techniques. But if I were to sell the work, I'd either buy the rights or take original photography.

    I used to work for a photo studio who took and rendered people's photographic portraits in the computer to make them appear as paintings, and then from there, if they wanted more painterly-ness, they'd have an artist paint from than in oils. There are many means to the same end. But if you want to knock out three or four in a day, the technique I've used can do that.

    Except the girl in native dress, that one took four hours. But in real paint, it would have taken much longer. Even if painting and using a photo as reference, you have things you are interpreting, placing limits on details to emphasis other things, smoothing over which you don't need. It is much like real painting in that.
