"How To - Beautiful Eyes and Lips Young Lady Portrait" Corel

Beautiful Eyes and Lips Young Lady Portrait

Here is another Young Lady's Portrait from Morguefiles Free Photographs. She has beautiful lips and eyes and a full face as well. I selected it from my downloaded portraits for creating a new image from the portrait.

I opened it with Corel Painter Photo Essentials 4 and applied a number of painting styles, some layered over the original Watercolor. I used Pastel Coarse Brushes set to Fade in/Fade out. I set the color to Intense. I stopped the auto painting before it was completely done. Using the Hard Cloner Brush I retouched the eyes and lips a tad for detail.

I saved this larger iteration as a TIFF file. Opening it in Corel PhotoPaint I applied the Threshold tool for some white space. Adjusting the Threshold for more color less white space, I looked for a Paper texture to blend with it. I located this Book Edge Texture with Vintage paper colors. I used this to add to another layer. I sized to fit, and applied the Multiply property for transparency. I merged the layers. Added my signature and saved that iteration as a JPG file.

I imported the image into Corel PSP Pro X3 and upped the Saturation Vibrancy by 33 and saved the large file again. I resized the image for display and saved that file with a new name.

I opened another MorgueFile portrait of a Young Beauty, in Paint.net. I applied the Artistic Oil Paint tool, High on Color and Coarse Brushes. I then took a scanned in photo of a number of young ladies in a Vintage setting, that I had scanned in the other day. I opened that in Paint.net, and selected all and copied it to the clipboard.

I went back to the oil painted Young Beauty and placed the scan as a layer. I adjusted the layer to fit and applied a property for transparency. I then applied the Artistic Ink Pen to the merged layers. I kept the color high and the ink setting low. I saved this large file with a new name.

I opened that file in Corel PSP Pro X3 and added a black border, with my signature as a layer with transparency. I added Image Information and merged all layers. Saving that iteration I opened in Corel PhotoPaint to resample and save compressed by 75 and smoothed by 33, with a width of 1220.

I imagine this Young Beauty daydreaming about her relative in the Vintage Photograph, and her own future. Perhaps a Prom Queen in the making.
