In this tutorial, I'll show you how to turn any photo into an oil painting. All you need is a copy of Affinity Photo - no paint required! 😊

Amazing! ...you do realize what a 'stress' reliever your videos are, don't you? I totally forgot how crazy the world is for a moment. Keep on keeping on!

My wife asked me "why would you want to do that with a photo?" I replied, "Because you CAN!" Thanks for a fun video. Now to go and find a fun family photo to practice on!

You and Ezra have taught me so much. I purchased the tutorials and enjoyed the free ones as well. Thank you so much for taking the time out to make such detailed tutorials. I've truly gained so much from them.

I have the App in iPad Pro too, I’ll try this technique!

Very nicely done Ally! You have given me so many ideas for this affect. Thanks so much.

[kyvacipes]

You are so amazing! Those tutorials are the best.

Everytime I watch and tryout your video's I learn a new thing. Like the alt tab when you want to change the colour of your brush :) And the end results are awsome looking :)

AHHH so great to hear her voice in 2020 right now ... mmm I feel so much better now.

As others have said, you have a beautiful voice, I could listen to that all day! Thanks for this walk-through, I was able to make a first attempt which was a good start. I would mention that the smudge brush did not appear to be available when I was using Affinity Pro, however I was able to find it by clicking on the little drop down arrow by the tool that was in its place by default on my desktop.

Wow. I never thought to use this brush tool in this way. Very cool!

Super tutorial! Thank you for your tips and explanations!

[missunperceivable]

I LOVE this tutorial! Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to try this!

We love you Ally and Ezra, I picked up a lot of knowledge on Affinity. After trying to work on Affinity on the ipad, I noticed that there are a few functions that is just not there as it is on windows and mac. So, I just bought affinity for windows. sigh.... But now, I want to buy the course offered from you guys. yay! more fun. Thank you again.

Fantastic lesson, I loved it, thank you Ally and Ezra... i usually photograph landscapes, so I am going to try and apply what I learned today on doing a watercolour painting effect... I love your videos, easy to follow along and you supply everything we need.. Thank you ...

I agree with all of the previous glowing comments below. You guys are only one step away from perfection. That step is to "offer" a downloadable PDF like cliff notes even if for a modest fee or subscription. I can envision them your tutorials in a three ring binder or separate folder.  

While this is one of your shorter lessons; others are longer and require multiple settings and steps. When attempting the those more complex techniques, they require re-watching all or some parts of the tutorial to follow. Having reference notes would be another quality differentiator from the rest of your YouTube Affinity competitors. Great job and thanks!!

This was a really good tutorial Ally. I turned a flower photograph that I wasn't quite happy with, I knew it was missing something, and created it into an oil painting flower, now I think it looks great. Thank you! :)

[FreeRadical]

Now this just blew my mind! I thought I needed to get Photoshop or Lightroom (ugh) but turns out I'm already good to go!

Can't thank you guys enough for all the ways you teach us to get the most out of Affinity Photo!

[BnAmed]

That’s a wonderful painting work, thank and keep going 👍🏻

[lucasm]

Excellent oil paint course, I could watch that for hours! I'm your fan, thank you very much!

[MarkAnthonyHenderson]

That is looks amazing and easy to follow.
