For the thick impasto effect, we can employ a layer style that will give the brushstroke a subtle 3D quality. These brushes can apply color and convincing textures at the same time. Fortunately, Photoshop has a selection of brushes that are made for this very purpose. Oil paintings have a surface quality that is unique to the medium itself, and for the effect to be convincing we need to mimic this accurately. Another vitally important factor is texture. One of the most important characteristics of an oil painting is the contrast of thin areas of paint set against areas of thick, solid paint or impasto. To create a truly realistic oil painting effect we need to be a little more inventive. There are many filters out there that promise to transform digital photographs into oil paintings, but it has to be said that most fail miserably.
