What looks like an oil painting is actually a digital enhanced image, produced as a piece of set decoration for '
Beauty and the Beast'. Mainly I used photoshop's '
Extrude' filter to create the look of thick paint on a canvas. Afterwards layers with '
Craquelure' and canvas textures where applied to add aging to the surface. The final image was printed 90 x 60 inches and needed resolution high enough to be able to reproduce all detail precisely (see picture below).
