Painting a Study in Adobe Photoshop

Introduction

01:30

In this course we'll be creating an impressive painting using a photograph as a reference. You’ll learn how to draw an accurate sketch based on what you see in the photo, and then how to slowly turn that sketch into a fully realised color piece. Along the way you will learn many new techniques, as well as how to use them to create pieces of your own!
