I paint watercolors and like to use PS to paint. Much more convenient than drawing on paper.
My approach is:
1. You can use the lasso tool to draw:
Pay attention to the feathering value.
2. Fill color:
3. Invert the selection and draw the dark parts:
4. Strengthen the dark parts:
5. Rotate the canvas, use the "wind" filter, and do it left and right:
6. Use the filter to "splash" and control the value yourself. You see, the watercolor effect comes out:
7. Create a new layer and use a suitable brush to draw a small tree. First draw the trunk:
8. Start drawing leaves:
9. Copy the small tree you drew and flip it vertically as a reflection:
10. Deform the background layer. The purpose is to adjust the picture to make it more perspective.
11. Create a new layer and draw a boat in the distance to add a story to the picture:
12. Duplicate the boat as a reflection and reduce the transparency:
13. Use the eraser tool to erase things like swans in appropriate places. Of course, you can add characters, flying things in the sky, etc.:
alright. This is my method. What is your method? Please introduce it.
Works painted using the same method.
