How To EASILY Create A Watercolor Painting Effect In Photoshop

----------------------------------------------
In this Photoshop tutorial, you’ll learn how to create the watercolor effect with two different techniques. The first method turns your photo into a watercolor painting using some simple filters and brushes to make an awesome effect. However, method 2 gives you an even more advanced and realistic-looking watercolor effect using a set of watercolor actions for Photoshop that only require a couple brush strokes and the click of a mouse. No matter which method you choose to use for converting an image into watercolor with Photoshop, this effect is a ton of fun to create, and I know you’ll love giving it a try. Hope you enjoy it! :)

P.S. THANK YOU FOR 100K SUBS, LOVE YA.

Yeah Brendan please keep making and updating these vidjeos. I watched one a bit ago & you're like "then just click the clipping mask icon" WHAAAT?? I've been using the lasso tool and very carefully carving out my images for years!! LOL. Glad I was alone when that happened bc I would have kicked a puppy! And when my niece asked why "Pasta" is hiding, I would have to say "a bad man named Brendan made me do it, now go drink your nightquil you lil devil." Kids, am I right?

bro, I'm an architecture student, and I just spent 3 hours waiting for my computer to start all 3 different rendering software I have to get a basic render set up for my pinup tomorrow, only for my computer to just fail and not let me run any of my software. It's due in literally 6 hours (it's 2am at the moment) and I was super upset, annoyed and tired. But i came across your tutorial and it literally took me 20min to get a beautiful watercolor pciture using the white model with shadow my modeling program has. This truly came in clutch, and strongly refuse to learn anything photoshop from anyone else but you. You are the miracle i needed thanks again!

really an excellent tutorial, very well explained with good results, I ventured to your page to buy the watercolor action, but really 120 dollars is really too much to play with watercolor paint, .. ... Thank you very much for the tutorial

[Aletta-ThisMoment]

Thank you for the most detailed explanations which I appreciate so much, being a determined beginner. I have tried lots of other tutorials, not saying anything negative about them, they're all very good, but it's as if they forget to mention the finer details which you do, and that is so important! It makes ALL the difference in my speed of progress! Thank You!

Method 1 is good enough for me. Thanks a lot. To be honest I think it works better than Method 2, with more flexibility.

Excellent instructions. Is there a way to view before and after?

[ziaulmonsur]

It's really a complicated job you have nicely described easily understandable.

Hello Brendon, is there a Cyber Monday or Black Friday discount for the Watercolor Actions Bundle & Watercolor Paper Texture?

Hi After converting photos to watercolor, does the dpi and resolution increase for large prints?

[jameyjg]

If you are planning to have it printed on canvas, should you skip the step of adding a paper texture?

[melissahall]

Awesome, thank you!! Going to order once I’m back to work!!

I like it ! greetings from Carthage Tunisia

Very expensive for the action, you can get numerous watercolour actions including brushes and textures for $10 to $15 what makes this worth $90+ .

Hi, am trying to follow your steps. But the filter gallery is grayed out. I bought your actions. Do you have a tut on that? Can you help? Thx

[CorporateSol]

Would this also work with Adobe illustrator? or only photoshop?

[renatomanawhat]

is a commercial license or anything needed if using the action for prints?
