Painter X: Clone Brush Technique

During my digital painting class, we cover a tool/painting technique called "Clone Painting", where students begin with photographs first, and convert them into paintings. The examples here were created using the "Impressionist" and "Sargent" brushes found in the Artists Brush Category. The technique is a lot of fun as students see very quickly nice paintings developing from a photo. Introducing this lesson also opens up a lecture on the different styles of paintings done by the Impressionists, Classical Painting, Van Gogh, Monet and John Singer Sargent.
