Oil Paint is the fourth filter offered within the Snap Art application. This is where a Snap Art user may want to combine both the Oil Paint and Impasto filters as they could compliment each other for a particular image. In my case for the example below, I preferred the Oil Paint look exclusively. Oil Paint is another filter which gives your image a three-dimensional look and feel to it. Depending on your brush size, the image will appear more rough and have additional edges on the brush strokes.

Oil Paint Basic Settings

A total of 31 different filter settings (including the default filter) are available to you for immediate viewing and comparison.

In this case I reduced the brush size by half, allowing for more details to come through. This particular filter could be more complimentary over the Impasto filter, but again, this will depend on the image and your particular taste.
