As I continue to explore creating paint elevations using Photoshop, I thought I would show one elevation with two different “Artistic Filters”. You have a myriad of choices within choices within choices which can be daunting to say the least. I will use one texture resource and work through a sample of the cornice moulding from the plate below. 

Once I set up layers with the textures and shadows for the Cornice, I can begin to alter the look using filters.

As you can see in these screen shots for “Glass” and “Craquelure”, each filter will have many choices. Using the sliders on the right, you can alter them and see the changes take place. 

I found the “Glass” to work great for a painterly feel/look. 

Finish it up with the Water Color Paper from the last blog…
