I've just started playing around with a new photo processing technique that is some call "Virtual Oil Painting" and some call it "Smudge Painting". Whatever it is called, it can give a unique look to rather ordinary portraits or sports pictures. Here are a few that I have done, and would like to get a discussion going, where we could all help each other learn and improve the technique.

All of these photos were color corrected for saturated colors and over sharpened using HIRELOAM. Techniques you can read about in the "Dan Margulis" thread.

Done in Corel Painter X using "Smart Stroke Painting" and "Smart Stroke Settings" and the "Bristle Oils Cloner 15" from "Cloners" Category!

The next 3 were smudged using the smudge tool from Photoshop CS3.
