How to Create a Photoshop Oil Painting Effect.


How to Get Started

First, open the photo that you want to work with. To open your photo, go to File > Open, choose your photo, and click Open. Now, before we get started, just check a couple of things:

  3. Your photo should be the Background layer. If it is not, go to Layer > New > Background from Layer.
