Turn picture into watercolor1/2/2024 To expand the canvas size of your image (Optional). Change the mode to Multiply, opacity to 50% and select OK. Go to Filter again (I promise this is the last time!!), choose Stylize, and find edges.ĭouble click on the icon next to find edges just underneath Layer 1. Set the mode to Screen, opacity to 50% and select OK. Now, go to layer 1 and double click on smart blur. Go back up to Filter, select ‘Blur’, choose Smart Blur, set radius to 5, threshold to 100 and quality to High. Select Ok.ĭouble click on the symbol next to the first (top) filter gallery under layer 1.Ĭhoose mode: pin light and drop opacity to 50%. Again, you can play with your settings here but the following seems to yield the best results: number of levels 8, edge simplicity 0, edge fidelity 2. Go to filter again on the main menu, Filter Gallery, and then choose Cut Out this time. You can play around with the settings here but I found the following to give the best results: brush size 2, (larger number for less detail, smaller number for more detail), brush detail 8, and texture 1. Go to filter on the main menu and choose “Filter Gallery.” Make a new layer by selecting cmnd+j on a mac or alt+j if you are on a pc.Ĭonvert that new layer into a smart object by right clicking on it and choose “Convert to smart object.” Here is an example using Multiply for the Blending-a really crazy result, though not my style.Next, open the image you would like to transform in Photoshop. In this example, I changed the layer with the gradient and brush splatters to Soft Light, a much darker but really nice effect. Here is our example without the background image, only the canvas texture. Also, if you try different blendings you will produce different results that are really cool as well. You can add your logo and also try a different color to see how it works. Use the image below for reference.Ĭhange the Blending to Screen and there we go-we have a super cool watercolor effect. Then select the Brush Tool (B) and, using the watercolor brushes, paint with different colors like red, orange, blue, green, and yellow. But it needs some color.Īdd a new layer and fill it with the Gradient Tool (G) the one I used was the Pink/Purple one. The last one and we have a nice image already. Rotate and scale the brush to match with the girl. The idea is that it simulates the girl’s hair, but does so using the brushes.Īdd another one and go to Edit>Transform>Free Transform, or just Command+F. Ĭreate a new layer and, using black, paint the first like the image below. Now let’s start painting some watercolor splatters. Then select the Brush Tool (B) and white for the color paint over the girl’s layer mask to show some of the masked areas, especially the neck and part of the hair, exactly like the image below. Go to Filter>Quartz Composer>Stylize>Color Pencil. We need pretty much just the face for now. You will be hiding some areas of the image. Then, with a very soft brush using black as the color, start painting over the layer mask. Use the photo you want, but if you want to use the one I used, go to. Now that we have our background done, we will add a photo of a woman that will be the model for our painting. Again, resize it to fit the image’s size and then change the Blending to Multiply. I’m using a canvas texture, and you can get it here. Place the image in the center of the document and then go to Edit>Transform>Scale and reduce its size to fit the page. Open Pixelmator and create a new document I’m using 1440×900 pixels.
