4 Ways to Digitize Watercolor Art in Photoshop

That's right. You've struggled with those poopy brown photos of your watercolor for too long. It's time to create stunning, sharp and eye-catching images of your work so you can give it the credit it deserves. 

In this class, I'm giving you the tools to do just that. 

4 Ways to Digitize Your Watercolors will teach you FOUR different ways that you can bring your pieces to life. I recommend spending time learning all four techniques because you'll find they come in handy at different times depending on what you're working on.

You'll start by learning how to paint an olive branch and experiment with creating different hues of green. This certainly isn't necessary for the class, but if you don't have anything you're dying to scan in but still want to learn the process, it will give you some material to work with! 

You will need Adobe Photoshop for this class.
