I often get messaged or asked when I do presentation as to how I get my images to look so painterly? This happened recently again when I was contacted by an artist in Brazil who creates wonderful surreal images. I have since updated what I sent to him, so I thought it might be helpful to others to share my thoughts on how I create images that look painterly. I love to create an older vintage mood to my images. Creating images that are painterly, helps to achieve this vintage
