Anyone know how I can imatate this paint efect?


Recommended Posts

Starting with a base portrait, add 1 or more pixel layers above it. Paint on those pixel layers with the desired color, and set the Blend Mode for the extra layers to "Color." This changes the color of the pixels, but keeps their luminosity intact from the layer(s) below. In the example below, I've started with a portrait (from Pixabay) and added two layers - one orange and one red. Obviously, doing a bit more tinkering (feathering the edges, desaturating the colors a bit, and so forth) would enhance the result. But what you are looking for is quite possible.

Trippy, looks like a still from a 1970's hippy movie.
