Oil Painting from Photo
For this, first, you'll need a photo.
Oil colours have been used in various forms since the 15th Century. The popularity of oil colours can be attributed to their extraordinary versatility, offering the artist excellent results from traditional techniques of blending and glazing, impasto and scumbeling.
You could paint from photographs, books or other sources.
* Get a family reunion painting. Well, you can add those who were unable to make it.
* Want to be next your favorite sports hero? He can be side-by-side with you.
* Missing your longtime companion dog. You could put both back together in spirit.
* Want to be seen with Pamela Anderson. Your friends won't believe it.
* Sing along with Elvis? You could dare do that too.
* Old photos only in black or white? You can enlarge them into colorful life.
* You could add the backgrounds of your choice, change dress colors, make yourself look slimmer and younger!
To create portraits from photographs takes special skills, the artist must adjust for the distortion that a camera creates and add living color to a flat photographic image.
You could even stop at this point and add a frame or a border and have a very nice oil painting.
