Choose a picture of a girl, or your own which you want to use. For this purpose we used a photo taken from Liam’s Stock free resource.
Crop the picture from the background, so that only the main figure will remain.
Press CRTL + A to select the figure, CRTL + C to copy it and then, when u move back to our painting canvas, press CTRL + V to paste it onto our painting.
While the layer with the girl is selected, go to Filter >> Artistic >> Cutout and apply these settings, that will imitate brush painting.
So far you got a blurred version of it…
Flatten the image yet again (don’t skip this part).
Now that the entire canvas has turned to one layer, go to Filter >> Texturize >> and apply this light canvas texture.
Now for the final touch… Select the “Burn” tool and go with a small soft-edge brush over the horizon line, and darken the “water” on the edge, so that it will look as if it fades into the black “mountains” we made before.
That’s it, you are done! If you have any questions, please post below, as well as the examples of ur work.. cheers!

Original Art painting on a digital canvas Photoshop Tutorial…
This tutorial’s purpose is to make an imitation of real painting, made using semi dry brushes….

Very nice site!
I am not a graphics designer and do I not have any photoshop software. However, I do have a photo I want printed on canvas with this effect. Would you be interested in the job or be able to point me to someone who would be? Thanks.
you need to explain a bit more like how to get to the lightening effects i’ve spent more time trying to find things you didn’t say then actually doing the tutorial.
