Using the Art History Brush

[Doug Nelson]

View here

Jim Caffrey has written a very clear tutorial on one of the most mysterious (to me, anyway) tools in Photoshop, the Art History brush.

One of the best tutorials

The is an excellent tutorial, Jim. For those who haven't taken the leap to Photoshop 7, the screenshots of the new brush options should be inspirational.

On behalf of all the folks who will learn from this masterpiece, Thanks very, very much!

Jim,
I've got to say it was worth waiting for. Your descriptions are short and precise and your screen shots are fantastic. Excellent job and the finished image looks soooo good you would think it really was painted. Thanks for taking the time to write it for us.

I'll just echo what's been said already. Thanks very much. It looks like something fun to play (or work) with.

First visit to this site...The site is grand, but TUTORIALS? FANTASTIC!!

Jim, This tutorial on the Art History brush REALLY makes sense. You've put in all the necessary instructions, good illustrations, and enough of the "why" part to make it interesting. Needless to say it fits right into my PhotoShop learning activities at the moment.

THANK YOU!

Art History - challenge example

Hi Julie!

Welcome to RetouchPro.

Here's a link to a recent "challenge entry" I think you'll enjoy, where the artist primarily used the Art History Brush (click HERE).

Have fun while you're poking around. Let me know if you have ANY questions.

Again, welcome aboard.

Danny,
Thanks so much for the welcome...and I used the link and found it to be most interesting. I have a feeling that I'll be hanging around here a lot in the days (heck, why "days"? ) make that the indefinite future.

I really have to thank Lisa for pointing me in this direction. THANKS AGAIN LISA!!

Tks for the warm welcome, DJ!
I've been lurking on RP for months...now that Julie's arrived, I guess I have to get active!

Well, I gave the tutorial a try and I love it. I added a canvas texture for effect. I think I will start using the Art History brush more often.

Lynda:

Glad you gave this fine tutorial a test spin. There are some very interesting possibilities with the Art History Brush function + the new PS7 brush engine.

As you get more and more comfortable with the tool technique, I can only imagine the results you'll be able to get.

Lynda,

Big Ben looks terrific! I wish my results with the Art History Brush were as good as yours.

Thanks, Jim. It takes time and a small brush size. I spent almost 2 hours on this image. I am anxious to try another.

Hmmmmm, think he can tell the difference??

Well, it might be worthwhile to give him a test. If he doesn't notice the difference..., you can decide whether you need to tell him or not.
