when you say a trace image do you mean you traced the lines for the shapes and then painted them or used the stencils. I love this textured effect but I am not really clear on what you did to achieve it. It looks like thinned oil. I can smell the paint. :-)

I use the Tracing Image resource, and I choose a brush from the custom brush series, which I manage, adapt, to the textures of the image. I vary the size, the space between strokes, the pressure, etc .... to achieve these extraordinary effects that, as you have seen, seem to be painted directly by hand on a canvas. But, it is still an traced image. I really like the brushes of the SAV series, which were created by Sav Scatola, who is Beta Tester.
