Description

A new oil painting style with improved speed and a better method for creating directional brush strokes.

The oil is smeary so spreads the image around, in the direction of the brush strokes, which in turn follow the shapes in the image.

Increasing the value of Edge Retention helps in retaining the original image in high-contrast areas, those areas which define the outlines of shapes. Keeps the image clearer, as is the artist had gone back and painted more detail in to define the edges of objects.
