Water coloring is nice. But sometimes – there just isn’t enough time to whip out the good old paint + brushes to get something great! That’s where I’m here to help. I’ve started a collection of water colored photoshop brushes that come in handy every once in awhile. It takes a little more patience to line up the brushes in a way that you may enjoy, but the fact that you can “edit > undo” is always a nice plus, huh?? Oh – and photoshop layers are your friend. If you pile 5 water color brushes on top of each other and want to move just one … you don’t have a prayer unless you’ve done things in layers.
Check out a few of my favorite resources right here ( 1, 2, 3, 4 ) and give them a shot. They’re free! Enjoy.
ah just what i needed now, that i’m gathering ideas to redesign my own blog! i absolutely love watercolour!
Yes! I rarely have the patience to sit and mess with my watercolors to get the exact look I’m going for, not to mention all the paper I waste whenever I do have time to do it! Thanks for sharing such great resources.
OH MY GOODNESS. yes! Thank you.

This is awesome. It can be so hard to find the right brushes for this effect. Thanks for the links. Also, not to fangirl you too much but I saw your design for Kendi’s blog and knew it was you before I scrolled down to the footer. It looks great!
I can’t even count how many times I’ve wished I had an “Edit>Undo” button in my life. I will simply have to keep living vicariously through Photoshop to have that option. :)
Thank you so much for this great resource! I am not a good artists, but I enjoy dabbling when I can, as it really is a wonderful outlet. Now I can do it in watercolors. ^^
