When you have an image, whether you created it yourself or you have a photograph of someone that you want to turn into our portrait for our wedding gift or anything, you can use a great technique in Painter called the Clone Painting Technique and what it allows you to do is to reference the pixels in your original which is the Source and then use that as the basis for the Clone. Now this a picture called the Maj Tower, it's a very rough render and I do have it completely finished version of this, but for this demonstration I just wanted to show you what this basic 3D Model looks like and what it's going to look like once I start to turn it into a painting. So as you can see I have it opened and I'm going to just leave it as it is. I'm going to go to File, Quick Clone. When I do this you'll notice that Painter leaves the original back there, it's still open and it's going once again reference these pixels and allow me to use those pixels in my New Image and I have the ability to use this tracing paper and I can Toggle it Off or On so I can focus on the painting as I'm working. So I'm going to leave everything as it is, I'm not going to get too fancy and change the Paper Texture or anything, I just want to pretty much demonstrate this technique to you as is. Now when I choose a Quick Clone, because I set up my Preferences to automatically change to the Cloner Brushes, which you should have by default, the Cloner Categories will open for me and I can choose a Variant. I'm going to grab my Watercolor, let's see here, Run Cloner and what I can do is reduce my Opacity if I want to and the size of my brush and I can start to paint. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to just focus on the sky area and I'm getting this really cool, Brush Stroke already and I'm trying to follow the strokes that are in the sky. Now you can of course use far fewer strokes then this and a very small brush to get great detail, but don't forget I'm also doing a watercolor and I kind of want that runny, raggedy look, I don't want to you know go to the ends of the document. I want some of that paper to show through and its going to be a little sloppy over here as I try to get some more of this paint down. Now I like to do Quick Clones, especially on my own artwork, because sometimes I don't want it to look too 3D, I want it to look more hand done. Now because I chose Watercolor after I let go of my brush I get the nice Diffuse Effect where the paint now runs along the canvas. I'm going to Toggle Off my tracing paper so I can see what it looks like without the background and as you can see it is picking up those pixels. It's getting the Hues and the Values and all that kinds of stuff. So I'm going to put that back on and I'll reduce the size of my brush and I'll start to work on the tower itself. I'm going to try to make sure I paint in the general direction of the actual artwork and I can always come back in later on and add the rest of those details. I can come back in on a different layer and I can lay down the bricks and any wood or whatever I want to do. Notice by the way that I am going according to the artwork so that when it does do the Diffuse thing, it looks more natural as if though I painted it myself, which I actually am. So I'm just going to go ahead and do a little bit more and make the shadows go in a slightly different direction and once again I'll Toggle Off that watercolor and its looking pretty good actually. One of the things I always tell people with watercolor is you really want to keep it like this on the edges, because that's pretty much the tradition in watercolor. Now you don't have to follow that if you don't want to and as you can see you don't also have to have the artwork showing. You can just paint right there and just move your mouse around. But of course it's good to kind of know its back there when you're doing this. So that is how you can use the Clone Technique to turn your artwork and your photographs into a completely different style from a picture to a photograph that looks like watercolor or oils or any of the tools that you like to use.
