For professionals who like
creative control we give them Layers for blending multiple paint styles and
brushes to paint on and off the impressionism strokes. We have also included an
ultra-impressionism effect called 'Tache' to cover the painting with broken
brush strokes or dabs of color that literally stand out, apply them sparsely or
cover the entire painting, the choice is yours.
The 19th century
brush-wielding Impressionist artists were crazy about flowers and gardens, and
it was good. With flowing brush strokes and thickly painted texture, Van Gogh
made his Sunflowers immortal with harmonious movement of color, contrast, and
form. Monet made his Water Lilly Pond a celebrity. It took their genius and a
lifetime of practice navigating the riot of their senses, but these
extraordinary artists took what they saw and felt in the petals and leaves and
transferred their impressions onto canvasses full of beauty, mood and meaning.
Lucky you, 21st century
software wielding seer and lovers of beauty, Impresso gives you the same
enduring attention to detail, light, color and texture by transforming your
photos into multi-textured, stroke-filled Impressionist masterpieces. Keen eyes
will love how Impresso maintains the balance of your piece! The results are
captivating paintings brimming with passion, life, and beauty.
Features
A pro workflow adds
impressionism styles per layer. With Layers, users can blend styles using
brushes to paint on or off areas in the painting! Also, included is the
powerful Ellipse Detail tool to add finely painted details to faces, flowers or
to create focal points in landscapes. Once completed , resize then hit the 'Apply'
button to render small brushstrokes inside the Ellipse. With layers
photographers and artists now have the power to composite multiple
impressionism styles for impressive results.
IMPRESSIONISM
STYLES
• Alla Prima ('wet-on-wet'
or 'all-at-once')—is great for portraits! This beautiful paint style starts by
filling the painting with an abundance of brushstrokes. A library of artistic
finishes compliments this style by adding light, color and movement with
controls over strength.
• En Plein Air (in open air)
is perfect for landscapes. This stroke-filled effect consists of eight artists'
palettes created by famous impressionists. Use them as they are or edit the
paint colors to make your own palette. The Save Preset feature keeps the
palette and all the layers intact for future projects.
• Tache ('spot' or 'blot')
applies broken brushstrokes throughout the image. This technique of laying
thick patches, flecks and dabs of color is great for making paint look as if it
stands out from the surface. Apply a light spackling of strokes or fill the
painting with dabs of color—the choice is up to you!
• Canvas layer is added to
each painting created. By creating a canvas layer, it can now be turned on or
off for viewing strokes created on previous layers. As with traditional
methods, the canvas is an integral part of the painting, so we have locked the
layer to keep it from being accidentally deleted.

a series of straighter strokes, #2 combines the first style with curved ones,
