ABSTRACT
This chapter describes a variety of brushes are used to create painterly pictures of children and young people. It starts with an explanation of some of the brushes in the Blenders category, as these are particularly useful when making portraits and also for finishing off pictures of all types. Some of the most valuable brushes for creating cloned pictures of people are the Blenders. These reside in several different brush categories including Blenders, Tinting and Distortion, and can also be created from many other brushes by altering the settings.
