Digitizing Your Paint: Selecting and Adjusting Artwork in Photoshop

In my last class we spent time exploring various paint mediums to find what we love best; in this newest class I show you the variety of tools that I use to digitize my paintings in Photoshop. Whether you’re looking to slightly color correct your scanned artwork, or want to fully reconfigure your piece, this course has your back (including a bonus video on how I make repeating patterns in PS!). The back bone to this course is learning the various ways to make selections, paired with the endless possibilities that come from applying adjustment layers (plus a few other handy tools, too). With these non-workflow specific tools in your back pocket, you’ll be able to make masterpieces out of just about anything.

This course is an intermediate course, and it will be of massive help to you to come armed with knowledge of:

• How to setup your document
• How to maneuver around the program
• How to work with layers

For the course project I’ve provided a plethora of painted mugs, flowers, and decorations for you to mix and match into your own finished and digitized illustration.
