Watercolor - Layer Properties

Assignment:

Please find a reference image of something non-geometrical that you would like to copy; something fairly simple, like a natural object. Some ideas:

• Smoke Cloud
• Cloud
• Ink Drop in Water
• Hair
• Tree
• Rock

1. Begin to make a sketch of your reference image.
2. Make a master color layer that we can clip the shadows and lights onto, as separate layers.
3. Begin making the shadows as a layer set to multiply
4. Begin making the lights as a layer set to overlay, screen, or luminosity.
5. Post your progress in your bog (WIP).

Day 2:

1. Use Layer Texture (Watercolor) and Layer Effect (Fringe) to make your painting look more like a watercolor image.
2. Use the blur or watercolor tool where you like to alter the look of the painting.
