STEP 12: Add one more layer

beneath the other mist layers

and name it “Painted Mist.” Now

use the Brush tool again with

white paint. Reduce the brush

Opacity to 40% in the Options

Bar and paint in some white

fog to fill in the obvious gaps

left by the other mist layers.

This shouldn’t be a huge effect,

just a subtle touchup to make

sure the mist layers all flow

together well. Adjust the brush

size as needed.

STEP 13: Now we’re going

to add the bird image from

Adobe Stock. You can find it by

clicking here. If you download

the low-res preview version,

drag it into your document

from the Libraries panel. Make

sure the bird stock layer is

inside the Forest Group, but

beneath at least one of the

Mist layers. Scale the layer

so the birds appear to be

in the correct proportion in

relation to the trees, then set

the blending mode to Multi-

ply to render the white areas

invisible, allowing only the

bird pixels to show through.
