New Painting Style
New Painting Style – I am working on perfecting a new type of painting that I do on the computer. Which always starts with a photograph. This is using the smudge tool and actually painting across the face of the subject.
I really like it, it is fun to do and I have a couple of orders for customers to make with this new look. It works great with dogs and cats. I am still perfecting the horse portrait with this technique.
I have my first Art Craft show coming up soon that I am participating in. I will let you know how that goes in a few weeks. I just love visiting with folks and talking about photography and pets. A craft show is the perfect place for that.
I do a very light painting with the horses, just to give it some soft edges here and there. I don’t want to soften the harness, I want to keep that sharp.
The horse above is taken from the photo below, the horse on the right. If I see an animal that would make a good portrait like this one, I separate the subject from the entire scene and change the background to get rid of the distracting green leaves behind the horse.
I like that the horse on the right was looking right at me, that is why I chose that horse over the other one for a portrait.

Stunning! I love this new style.
Thank you very much Susan. It is fun to do, a little more time consuming but I do love the results.
My compliments Sandra, is it 100% transformed with photoshop or do you use an other software ?
Thank you Rudi, it is all done in photoshop with lots of layers, smudge brush, and I put my own backgrounds that I have made behind the subject. So much fun to do. Works great with dogs and cats so far.
Beautiful work .
Thank you very much 😊
Very fun. Where most of us use the various sharpening tools to clarify, you have creatively found a case to do the opposite to a very nice effect.
Thank you Brad, it has taken a lot of research and learning of new techniques within photoshop to finally get a system that I am happy with. And it does not involve AI, just lots of layers. It is fun to do. Works great for pet portraits.
Beautiful work ! 🐱🐶🐎💙💙🙏
