I’ve been obsessed with using Photoshop as an oil painting simulator. Here are some 1hr studies with a ban on undoing.

Been ages since my last post. In that time I’ve been trying to set up a good set of brushes for CS5’s Mixer Brush tool. The aim is to have a similar enough workflow when switching between Photoshop and traditional oils (for example, after working in Photoshop, going back to oils I would tend to press too hard and end up scraping up more paint than I put down). They feel good enough to share, but will probably be an ongoing effort.
