My student led demo

If you weren't in class on the day of my student led demo, I am posting a little bit about it so that you to can try it out. I am just getting started with the program Photoshop so my tutorial may seem like a piece of cake if you have any experience.

When I did my tutorial I actually found it from a website offering assistance to those who may be entirely lost when it comes to digitally enhancing or changing photos, etc.

This tutorial taught me about the art history brush and how to use it to change a high resolution photo into a painting. The image I used was the same from the tutorial , a simple flower which is at the top of my novel.

Tutorial:

Simple, easy and fun.

Follow these steps and you should be good to go.

1. Choose the art history brush

2. Go to the top of your screen where the tool bar for the art history brush will appear

3. Choose the size of the brush on the left side of the tool bar, we want to use a dry brush tip such as 66.

4.On the far right of the tool bar you should be able to toggle the brushes options palette.

5. In the brushes palette double-click the SHAPE DYNAMICS and change the roundness jitter to 50%.

6. Click on the COLOR DYNAMICS option and change the hue to 10%.

7. Back on your toolbar at the top change the style of the brush to tight and short

8. Also change the area to 50 px.

( all of the adjustments you made can be done on the art history brush tool bar, except for the brushes palette adjustments)

9. These are all of the changes you need to make, you are now able to paint away.

Something I learned after my tutorial is that it is always a good idea to create a second layer so that you don't damage your original :)

You can also add different effects such as mulitplying, darkening, lightning, etc. to bring contrast and other design ideas to your painting!
