How to Transform a Photo into an Oil Painting (AKVIS OilPaint + AliveColors Tutorial)

Learn how to make your photo look like an oil painting. AKVIS OilPaint transforms a photo into a work of art. The AliveColors graphics editor allows you to combine different oil painting techniques to get the most artistic result. For the background, we choose coarser painterly brush strokes, for the portrait of a girl, we applied accurate and delicate settings of the oil effect.
