CREATE YOUR OWN CUSTOM WATERCOLOURS ON FILESILO
Creating traditional watercolour effects is
something that is usually reserved for painting
with practical materials only. Digital mediums
struggle to simulate the fluid movements of the
liquid and the results often lack the familiar
appearance of traditional watercolours. But
using the classic watercolour strokes to create
digital brushes can bridge this divide to help
you to create realistic paintings.
The proper technique doesn’t use the brushes
as one might normally expect. Dragging the
cursor will not provide good results. It’s all about
the single clicks, so the brushes are used more
like a stamp than a brush. Blending modes playDIGITAL WATERCOLOUR

another major factor in creating the effect, both
at the layer level and on the brush properties.
There’s no better way to mix various paint
colours in Photoshop than with blending modes!
