The Oil Paint filter is to take a picture and make it look like a painting.

OilPaintFilter(

#### Parameters

  The source picture to work with (has to be 32 bits).
brushSize
  The size of the brush. (This value can be from 1 to 5)
smoothness

mask
  To limit the filtering to certain pixels then set a picture defining the mask to this parameter. Pass nil to this parameter if the filtering should not be limited to certain pixels.
  The mask picture must be a 32 bit picture and must be same size as the src picture. If the mask picture is not 32 bits and same size as the src picture then the function will fail and leave the result picture unchanged.
