Painted Effect Affinity Photo

In this video we look at how we can create a Painterly effect based on a technique that I first created many years ago. That technique went on to be known as the Hayes Island Effect, this time around we are going to bring it up to date using Affinity Photo.
Some of the topics covered include:-
- Filters
- Live Filter Layers
- Adjustment Layers
- Selections
- Blend Modes and Opacity
- Brushes
- Snapshots

[@donbowes4818]

David,
Great video! I’ve been a big fan (subscribed) for a number of years, ever since I watched a painterly video you made using Topaz Impression.
I don’t own Affinity Photo but will certainly consider it.
Would you consider doing the same thing in Topaz?

[@davro06]

Thanks for being a "Subscriber" Don Bowes and pleased that you enjoyed the video. That Topaz Impression video is going back a bit but it is some that I will be updating soon.:) As for Affinity, it is well worth considering as it's a brilliant programme to use and there are no subscription fees and all updates are free!
