Improved Koh Chang Cat Watercolour

This is an improvement to when I first did the watercolour effect on the same photograph.

Thames Barrier

The Thames Barrier was built between 1974 and 1982. The barrier's purpose is to prevent London from flooding during a freak high tide moving in from the sea caused by a storm surge.

These photos were taken on the north bank of the river.




The first HDR photo was tone mapped using five different exposures and the others were done using only three. The difference in overall tone and detail is evident.

The last photo had less shadow and highlight smoothing and the colour saturation was reduced.

Self Manipulated Self Portrait


This time using the art history brush and wet media brushes to paint on a blurred history snapshot, I created this arty self portrait of myself.

More Watercolour

City Hall in Watercolour

The photoshop watercolour effect is just awesome and I can't get enough of it.

N.B. The enlarged view is not the original file size and will look pixelated.

Kew Duck and Priory Cow in Watercolour




After my last post I did more research on the watercolour effect in Photoshop. Using brush dynamics and two watercolour brushes while changing the opacity of the brushes when painting on a mask, makes the effect stand out quite nicely.
