Hey, this is Marty from Blue Lightning TV. I'm going to show you how to create the look
of fauvist style oil paintings from photos using Photoshop's AI's Generative Fill. I
created these samples so you can see what you can achieve using the techniques shown in the video.
Fauvism's characteristics are the use of color for its own sake, clashing colors playing with
values and intensities, rich surface texture, and spontaneity. Alright! So, open a photo of
someone that you'd like to use for this project. I downloaded this one from Shutterstock. It's
important to know that we're going to create a portrait in the fauvist style, but it won’t
be necessarily a portrait of the person in the photo. The AI in generative fill sees the image
as a face. Make sure you see the contextual taskbar. If you don't see it, go to Window
and check "contextual taskbar". It's checked by default so if you don't see it, just click it.
Then, press "Select Subject" and it'll make a selection around your subject. To make sure that
it fills the entire subject with the selection, press "Q" on your keyboard to see it as a quick
mask. If everything looks good - great! If not, press "Q" again. Open your quick selection tool
and drag over your image to fill in the selection. The next thing we want to do is contract the
selection. So, we'll go on to Select, Modify, and Contract. Now, I'll contract it by 10 pixels based
on the size and resolution of my photo. Make your selection contract about this much or so. That's
all you really need. So, we'll click the invert selection icon and click generative fill. Now,
we'll type in any background. We just want to fill it with pretty much anything. This way our fauvist
painting will have a colorful background. Again, it won't necessarily look like the background
you're typing in. It's pretty much just a bunch of colors. So, I'll type in "a photo of a beach with
tropical trees" and press Enter or Return. And again, it'll produce three choices that we can
choose from. All right! So, here's one. I'll click this arrow here for the next one which is this.
I'll click the arrow again which is this one. You know what...hmm, yeah,
I think I like this one. So, what we'll do now is click the channels panel. If you don't see it,
go to Window and Channels. Click the "add channel" icon and make sure your foreground and background
colors are white and black or black and white. It doesn't matter. Click the foreground color
and for brightness, type in 70 and press Enter or Return. Now,
to fill the Alpha One channel with the 70 gray foreground color, press Alt or Option +Delete.
Ctrl or Cmd-click the thumbnail of Alpha 1 to select its tone. Click the RGB thumbnail,
open the layers panel, and in generative fill, we'll type in "oil painting"
and press Enter or Return. It'll produce three abstract expressionist or fauvist-style paintings
that we can choose from. All right! So, here's one...here's two...and again, it doesn't make
the distinction of male or female because the AI just sees a face. I kind of like the second
one here. And there you have it! This is Marty from Blue lightning TV. Thanks for watching!
