In today’s Photoshop tutorial I’m going to show you a clever combination of Photoshop filters that converts an image into a realistic looking watercolour painting effect. A range of built-in filters will produce the foundations of the effect, then the addition of a paper texture and some finishing touches with a watercolour Photoshop brush pack adds an extra level of realism to produce a convincing final result.

I cannot find out how to buy/down load the brushes. I went through the steps but I am at a loss to find out how to get the brushes. Thank you.

@FOBsinCanada 2 года назад

Note to self: Convert layer to Smart Object (1:01) Apply Dry Brush (1:24) Apply Cutout (1:35) Change Blending Options for Cutout to Pin Light (1:53) Filter > Blur > Smart Blur, change the blending mode to Screen and reduce opacity (2:13) Filter > Stylize > Find Edges, change blending mode to Multiply and reduce opacity --> Makes sketch lines, but can look ugly in places with gradients, so you can switch to Darken instead.

@d.a.ackerman2552 Год назад

Really clear step-by-step instructions. One thing worth noting -- the suggested filter settings are more effective for original images that are low-resolution. (Of course, you do not need high-res if you are going to trash the details to fake a watercolor painting!) So start by resizing to a few MPx. And remember to convert to 8-bit so all the filters work. The sky's the limit. Thanks, Chris.

Thank you so much for creating this video tutorial. I am new to Photoshop so I don't really know what I'm doing so I had to pause and click to work through it but it was very clear to follow. I had a slight problem and was wondering if you could help. My version of Ps didn't have a selection for Jitter. I also downloaded the brushes but had a hard time opening because the file name was too large. I kept getting an error code to change the file name it was too long to access the brushes. I couldn't end up finding the 1057 brush. Thank you for any help you have to offer. Thank you.

@uxerthekus 7 месяцев назад

For those who are struggling with the last step (I was too): 1. open the new image and copy it 2. Go to the original smart object (main) click twice on the thumbnail 3. Paste the new image 4. and Save (cmd+s) just right after so the main smart object updates and there you go.

This worked beautifully the first day. But the second day- the watercolor blooms look pixilated. It isn't showing a gradual fading of the color. Is that a change in the settings?

I discovered the issue was that the brush was set on Dissolve instead of Normal.

I would like to know how to do this without having to buy a brush set. Or the option of a cheaper brush set.
