For really super-thick impasto oil you either have to paint the brush strokes in (its almost like painting a painting of brush strokes at that point) or use an app like Verve Painter that has thick paint effects built in.

Used sparingly they can add to the work but the problem is the thickness per layer is universal, which is not how masses of paint would be in real life. Q: What about really thick paint, like squeezing it straight out of a tube?Ī: You can enhance the thickness a bit using layer effects. They look that way from the second you paint with them. This means you can paint with them as is, mix them with any other brushes and don't have to worry about applying any layer effects.

Q: Do these use any layer effects to get the effect of depth?Ī: No, these use a series of tricks with nothing but the regular Photoshop brush settings to give the appearance of depth.
