Aquarel Painting

Step 1

Open the new document. To begin with we will create a back background for our picture.

Name the first layer 'background' , and we will make its white with the help 'paint bucket tool' .

Then we will apply 'Filter / Texture / Texturizer'

Texturizer parameters

Scaling = 100 %
Relief = 4
Light = Bottom Left

Step 2

Copy and insert the image original into our document.

Name a layer 'Original'.

Duplicate a layer (ctrl+j) and we name 'Aquarelle'.

Now at us there are 3 layers:

- Aquarelle (Water colour-effect)
- Original (the image original)
- Background (paper)

Step 3 Correction of colour.

Take a layer 'Aquarelle'. Apply 'Image / Adjustments / Hue-Saturation'.

In a line "saturation" (saturation) put value-50 and press OK.

Step 4 Effect of a water colour.

Take a layer 'aquarelle'. Pass in 'Filter / Brush Strokes / Crosshatch'.

Crosshatch options:

Stroke Length = 3
Sharpness = 10
Strength = 1

Step 5

To make a paper structure on a picture, choose a layer 'Aquarelle' and apply:

'Filter / Texture / Texturizer'

Options: Scaling = 100 %
Relief = 4
Light = Bottom Left

Step 6

Put Opacity for layer Aquarelle on 80%

Step 7

Unite layers 'Aquarelle' and 'Original'.

Step 8

Take 'Eraser tool'.

I used 'Charcoal Large Smear' for more beautiful effect of drawing.

Then establish a transparency erash about 10 %, for for effect of smoothness.

Now simply erase all superfluous on a picture. Try to "clean" a picture from different directions for more real effect painting.

Step 9

Duplicate a layer with a picture (ctrl+j) and name it' Aquarelle 2′. Put opacity on 80%.

And put Layer-mode for a layer 'aquarelle' on 'Luminosity' .

Step 10

We Will unite layers. Now you have your own painting!

I hope that the lesson was pleasant to you!
