Turning a photo into a painting using cloning tools in Corel® Painter™ 12 By Don SeegmillerIn this tutorial, I'll show you how to take a photograph and create an image that looks like a painting using the cloning tools in. I have included custom brushes, paper texture and pattern for you to experiment with.

The photo I used in this demonstration was kindly provided by.To get things started, I opened my photo in Painter 12, and chose File menu Quick Clone. Figure 1When you use QuickClone, Painter 12 automatically clones the image, clears the canvas, turns on tracing paper, and embeds the clone source in the image.
You'll see a faded version of the original photograph above the canvas. You can toggle the tracing paper on and off by pressing Command + T (Mac OS) or Ctrl + T (Windows). A thumbnail of the original photo is displayed in the Clone Source panel. If the Clone Source panel isn't open, choose Window menu Clone Source.
You can have multiple clone sources, which lets you borrow elements from multiple images and combine them in the clone. Figure 2For my initial sketch, I chose the Real 2B variant from the Pencils brush category. I quickly sketched the main shapes of the face and the larger areas of shadow. I wasn't cloning from the image at this point, but simply using a gray value to establish the basic drawing. I don't like painting on a white background, so I created a new layer by choosing Layers menu New Layer. Then, I selected the Paint Bucket tool from the Toolbox, and chose a darker olive color from the Color panel, and filled the new layer. An olive background works great with the flesh tones.
In the Layers panel, I changed the Composite Method from Default to Multiply. With the tracing paper turned off, you can see the basic outlined sketch. Figure 4I wanted this image to look like an oil painting, so I used brush variants from the Impasto category, which apply strokes with an implied three-dimensional effect. I also used several custom brushes.At this point, I chose to paint on the olive-green layer rather than the sketch in my painting. I selected Layer 1 in the Layers panel and changed the Composite Method to Default, which hides the sketch. Then, I chose Layers menu Drop All.Next, I started painting the portrait with the same techniques as I would if I were using traditional oil paint.
For example, when I painted the hair, I always applied brushstrokes in the same direction. Figure 8As I refined the image using smaller brushes, the entire painting cleaned up nicely. Remember that there's no right or wrong way to do this. If you're getting results that you want, then you are doing it the right way.At this point, I turned off the tracing paper.

I didn't want to use the background from the original photograph in the image. Instead, I wanted to paint something that would make the portrait even more like a traditional oil painting. To achieve this, I painted the background of the image freehand like I would with a regular painting. I also turned off the impasto by choosing Canvas menu Hide Impasto, allowing me to still use Impasto brushes without seeing the effect. Figure 11I wanted the background to look more like a piece of artist's canvas, so I customized a paper texture to look like canvas. You can import this paper texture by choosing Window menu Paper Panels Paper Libraries. In the Paper Libraries panel, click the Panel Options button, choose Import Paper Library, select New Paper Library 1.paperlibrary and click Open.
I then created a new layer and used the Variable Chalk brush variant from the Chalk & Crayons brush category to paint the canvas. The Variable Chalk brush interacts wonderfully with paper textures. When I want a lot of paper texture to show, I set the grain for this brush to about 10% by moving the Grain slider on the property bar. Then I roughly paint in a texture that looks like canvas in the corners of the image. Figure 12To give this painted canvas a similar feel to an impasto painting, I applied some surface texture by choosing Effects menu Surface Control Apply Surface Texture. The default settings weren't quite what I wanted so I tweaked a few things in the Apply Surface Texture dialog box.
I moved the Amount to between 20 and 40%, the Shine slider to 0%, and enabled the Inverted check box. When you do this, make sure that you're using the same paper texture you used to paint the original canvas. Figure 17There was one last thing to do to finish the painting. Using a custom pattern, I added a subtle crackle look over the image like you'd often see in old oil paintings.You can import this pattern by choosing Window menu Media Library Panels Patterns. In the Pattern Libraries panel, click the Panel Options button, choose Import Pattern Library, select New Pattern Library 1.paperlibrary and click Open.With the crackle pattern loaded and active, I created a new layer. I then selected the Paint Bucket tool and chose Source Image from the Fill pop-up menu on the property bar. Figure 19When everything looked right, I dropped all the layers to the canvas by choosing Layers menu Drop All.
The cracks now looked something like ones you'd see in an old oil painting. To make it look even more convincing, I added some surface texture to the cracks, giving the effect a more authentic look.To do this, I copied the entire image and pasted it back into itself by selecting the Canvas in the Layers panel, and choosing Select menu All, and then Edit menu Copy, and finally Edit menu Paste. Then I chose Effects menu Apply Surface Texture, chose Original Luminance from the Using pop-up menu, and adjusted the Amount slider while watching the preview window until I was satisfied with the look of the painting.
