A Watercolor Painting for the Whole Family
Monday, June 23rd, 2008 running time 14:27
This week, Bert transforms a regular image into a magnificent watercolor painting.
Bert shows us how to create a watercolor painting this week with the magic of Photoshop. First, Bert increases the color of the image by adjusting the saturation. Then, Bert transforms his image into a pattern with the following steps:
- Select>All
- Edit>Define Pattern (name the pattern)
- Select> Deselect
With a new layer, Bert creates tracing paper by filling the layer with a white solid color and bringing down the opacity. Then, with a new layer, Bert creates a watercolor brush by using the Pattern Stamp Tool, selecting the Pattern of the image. turning off pen pressure (in the brush engine) and selecting airbrush quality and duel brush property (brush engine).
Finally, Bert creates watercolor paper by creating a new layer, filling it in with a neutral color and using the following filters: Texture>Craquelure, Blur>Gaussian Blue and Pixilate>Facet.
Don't forget to design and e-mail Bert a background for our green screen! Please send a jpg design with size 1280x720 pixels

Is up. -- bring out out layers palate here let's keep it handy so we can see what's gonna happen next I would -- create a layer on top of this a solid column there. And I'm gonna use a white. Click OK now we look at creating that Blair is just so I can kind of have tracing paper is something that can kind of hide the picture underneath. But immediately see enough of its second kind of transit. A kind of -- them and bring them capacity for just did not seconds see the artwork on the me. I feel like that came about 7% is perfect I can see it but it's not completely visible second going through my art and the photographic same time. So now another layer on top of this this is what I'm gonna go in there and start to. Create my paying -- to be sure I don't pick the wrong man I'm gonna go with select that they would the white I don't know it and -- it. Unlocking its I can even -- then later that layers not to be touched until I'm all done.

" Patterns stamp tool. Pattern stamp tool and I can tell you something right there okay it's a pattern stamped to a post the clone tool they look like this that this was got a little. Little what checkerboard above it. So now let's pick a nice brush for this guy. Let's go here and under the softest brush -- bigger it goes up 45. -- hosting site later on the fly. And in my brush engine. And eternal light pen pressure and turn that off. And I am gonna go down here if they give an air brush. Get an ambush which is gonna going to be this they for the affect the UC in the second I'm also say dole brushed union toward bush and then don't -- shouldn't pick. What he's gonna have broken up brushes I bet you -- that -- he had a game that little thing going on here all right so. -- go in here and sped depression little bit of little spacing. -- space into it. Space like that and maybe you can pick the brush that's going here and maybe pick up a nice solid brush. Mac collective thought that precious to put that 65. Give me that nice little effect there not gonna bring down the -- the capacity for my brush and bring it down that a bit. Go about. 47. That is make it is kind of soft brush and respect the -- right here opinion would that tool. So as I start to -- you see them bringing up and hope I forgot one very important thing. I have to go again pick the pattern if you house paint with a pattern if -- with a pattern that's currently selected pentagon -- That pattern of the flowers is my localities. And now pick that pattern. Sonic breasts smaller. About the size of these little guys here analysts kind of pain is there anything in coming through. Fit that well let's -- that one because what we're gonna do do now is to come this guy right here -- read appear impressionists. Impressionist is gonna give me nice effect this effect is gonna be little more like instead of putting in a photograph out. It's gonna bring up at homes of that photograph is gonna start to look like -- watercolor painting and I'm gonna start to. Dead it now you know those I'm eating it a couple of times here and he's gonna hit the kind of make that little darker. Some kind of building up the -- just like a regular watercolor brush of the abuse watercolors you know that's what they do that this little guy here. And then this little guy right in there. All right so now get my brush a little bigger. And respecting in this area I'm kind of very loosely following the edge of my flower. That is gonna go in here and Monica pull up some of those tones and each time I go back over the same strokes you notice that. To have blending in together. Just cycle wet watercolor brush and then -- here just kind of pull all these little towns get the -- little orange stuff happening in there. Close around and just kind of move it around. Now watches when I start going over again. Look -- building itself up and blending that in with the original drawing. -- and I'm gonna do that over here. Kind of pull this little flower out. -- that polls nice colors and just kind of go around. And get this -- who shape happening. I'm gonna -- success -- in there and around this little flower. If those little towns in the middle. Okay we can -- We've touched us a little better once we're done with it now start picking up some of these tones and here. And get this guy going all the way down there like that then pick up this little base of the -- right here impeccable all the way down and this -- base which would just cut and right there. At the beginning about. Big one in the front. Now it says collapse and leaves. Very roughly just don't you're just came around these guys paying around their system picking up some leaves. I'm gonna get all the leaves which is what kind of stylized this and just pick up certain movies that are going to accent the overall image. Right here malicious I think that one here and want to get this guy. Red round of blue flower. And to kind of pull it out because there. And then -- to stalled agreement between these two and -- pick up some green right behind that one. And down here me -- so little green writing here. If kind of just goes in there and maybe illegal. Piece of relief coming off of that and see -- they blended in there so if I start to cream on top of it again -- do that we get a smaller brush. I start to kind of bill that came up again they could see I didn't blending in together that has been led into into each other. And this pick up but the belief that they write in here but just pick up this belief -- here and kinda have this whole thing blend. -- ago. And with blue green so I start to get this amount. What I'm gonna do is gonna come over here to this. Yeah which I'm gonna unlock it human capacity back up to. A 100% to -- we got the basis for -- code that would not totally happy with it we know and -- start just kind of building up some more pain. And good as -- on top of his these guys will blend together. There egotistical makes watercolor. And the blending in there. And has been in there and to start bringing all these homes in and maybe throw a little more honed during this guy up and there. -- how do you make it at this point that's. Only up to you can go dentists and that's this'll day if you want. For now we're gonna do and the final touches and when it at some watercolor paper on top but it's. So another layer on top and -- whole thing I'm gonna go ahead and let's get nice kind of a basic color. A like page. That night that. And in that you layer I'm gonna go ahead and build that. -- fill that with that page. Go to the foreground color set to normal. And a 100% would click and there I got this which I'm not gonna go in and activity though there. And going there and say under texture of the given little crack in New York. Crack nor is gonna give me this I might want to go Bluetooth. Pay that debt down the brightness down a little bit and -- basing this bring it down and once it gets even tighter he forgot all the stuff the debt. Let's bring it down just a little -- it's not too strong and click okay. Now to this under the broiler and upload this whole thing just a little bit. -- gauzy black justice often end up just a tad like that. And maybe one more -- Google facet who go to here to pick -- analysts say that's it which is of that little effect may well do that -- again. That's kind of cool there was you what is done that now -- I was -- the final touches on the put that layer and something like overlay. Which is gonna give me that nice that would texture unstoppable might go to war color pictures that you see there. And bring down access to those that we have a little texture to a war com. Now remember that this could be anything you want to be you're going to -- in and do a barn with trees around whatever okay but what we're creating here is a watercolor kind of an image now we can print this out in your color printer on watercolor paper. But right now we created a -- public textures you can print that out any kind of paper and looked like -- work on paper. Organize them from that remember it's just a question of changing a few things here they -- you get. Totally different effects so it's the techniques involve not the end result that's important. Popular is something that."

I really learn a lot from Bert's tutorials and will probably continue watching. However, the intro ad for episode 88 just about knocked me off my chair and made me want to go elsewhere. The format has bounced around a little, but seems to get steadily harder to watch. What happened to plain and simple with focus on the topic?

Every Rev3 show has gotten that intro ad. I think it's a bad idea for them to do that as I think Gary V. is not for everyone. He's...an aquired taste if u will.












um..
seems a little half done this week. i know your just showing us. but you cant even see the flowers that well.
