How to turn a picture into an oil painting
1. Using a glue stick, mount a picture from a magazine, or a color copy of something else, onto watercolor paper.
2. Brush on two coats of "Modge Podge." Let dry.
3. With a small brush apply small amounts of art gel medium (found in the fine arts section of your favorite crafts store). Apply in little curved strokes (mimicking the full sized strokes of a real oil painting). It will take many coats to get a great look. Each coat must dry completely. It's much easier to do lots of pictures at the same time.
4. Once you have the look you're after, give the project one light coat of "Modge Podge Gloss." Oil paintings have a gloss to them.
Here's my suggestion to make things easier: Find your frame first. it's much easier to make your picture fit your frame than the other way around!
