Video Lesson: Young Girl Mending Pants

Create a fine art composite in the style of the Austrian painter Edmund Adler.

Learn the exact workflow behind this image — from the studio shoot and a handmade miniature set to the final painterly toning. This is not a preset. You see every layer, every step, and why it works.

Why this image looks like a painting

Edmund Adler (1876–1965) was an Austrian painter from Vienna, trained at the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. He is best known for his warm, cozy scenes of children in rustic interiors — quiet moments of everyday life painted with soft light and rich, earthy colors. His paintings are still loved by collectors around the world.

To bring his paintings to life, the children were photographed in the studio, and the house they sit in is a small handmade model, built by hand especially for this image. In the lesson you will see how these separate pieces are combined into one believable scene — and how toning and painterly texture turn the photograph into a classical painting.

Bonus tools included

My Photoshop hair brushes. Hair is the hardest part of any composite. These are the brushes I use myself to paint natural, fine strands of hair, so the models blend into the new scene without hard, cut-out edges.

Oil Paint Photoshop action. My action that turns a photograph into an oil-painting look in one click: painterly brushstrokes, soft texture and the feel of a real canvas. All layers are named and organized, so you can easily adjust the strength of every effect.

What's included

• 143-minute complete workflow video (MP4, 1080p)
• Layered Photoshop file — the final image with all layers
• 13 element files used to build the composite: models, furniture, fabrics, frames, props and textures
• Set of my hair brushes for Photoshop
• Oil Paint Photoshop action with installation guide
• Step-by-step "Read Me First" guide
• Editing software: Adobe Photoshop

Open the Photoshop file and follow every step layer by layer.
