Digitize Your Watercolor Painting in Adobe Photoshop: A Complete Guide – Altea Alessandroni [Skillshare]

Course Description

Transform your watercolor paintings into exceptional digital assets!

This class is a complete step by step guide to digitize your watercolor artwork in Adobe Photoshop, going from a real-life botanical illustration to a digital asset you can use for endless projects.

Digitizing your artwork can open up a lot of new opportunities, but you might feel some barriers to starting the process.It might be challenging to know how to scan your artwork or how to use image-editing software. In this class, I break down each step, from creating the illustrations to scanning to turning them into digital assets. I’ll also provide you with a workflow that will make the whole process as quick and easy as possible.

In this course you’ll learn how to:

• create a set of illustrations from sketching to painting
• scan your artwork
• adjust the colors
• remove the background
• fix painting mistakes and imprecisions
• decorate a name initial with your watercolor illustrations

Who’s this class for?
While a basic understanding of watercolors and Photoshop might come in handy, this class is designed for students of any level who want to open up their hand-made art to digital projects and opportunities.

Materials you’ll need:

• pencil or pen and a sheet of paper
• watercolor paints, brushes, and paper
• mixing palette
• one or two jars of water
• paper towel
• scanner
• PC or Laptop
• Adobe Photoshop

A digital tablet can also come in handy if you have one, but it’s not necessary.
I only use the digital tablet when I need to use the eraser tool or the brush tool and make precise adjustments to my paintings but you can still do all of those things using your mouse.
