Once we've selected and cropped our photo, we're ready to move on to painting. So the next button and it will take you into all the choices you have for style and for paint amount of paint brush. You started with oil. Variations of oil paintings, hmm less than more detail. And once you've picked the style, up here, it says paint. This is the amount of the element that you've chosen that is in your particular painting.

So if you go to the right, you're going to increase it, give it a little more detail, make it look a little bit more recognizable as a flower. If you go to the left, you're going to lose detail and create something it's a little softer, less focused. washed, is more watercolor type style, very wet, very lacking in the tale that you can add some by adding more paint or taking some away. whichever you choose. hatched is more a sort of sketch style with color added, like I do sketch first and then watercolor it or use colored pencils to do it. Again you can get as much detail or as little as you want.

Simple. Obviously, this is going to look a little bit more like the original photo, but you can do your own little adjustments and go everywhere from very fancy and classic sort of styles to things that are more abstract. Bold, really focuses on the center of your photo, whatever that might be. And then case it's a flower. Abstract is where you can start to play around and really have some fun doing different things. Again, add and subtract the paint.

See what you get. See what the different styles are like how soft focus you get, what kind of focus on detail, they might have less and less. Experimental is one of the categories that I like to play with because you can really just do anything. The color palettes are so different from normal type of paintings. This one reminds me a little bit of Van Gogh, just not using his palette. There are many, many choices that look very natural like that.

And things that are very, very soft focus indistinct the last section is illustration, which is again, a cross between sketching or drawing and painting or using colored pencils. So you can do all kinds of things with that. So pick whichever one you like best. Try them all though, and see what you like. And then when you have picked one, we're ready to go on to the next step. I think I'm going to pick that one illustration.

All right, on to the next lesson.
