With clone painting, you do NOT need any drawing skills. You start with a photograph and hand paint OVER the photograph bringing in your subject like magic and eliminating the most difficult stage of learning to paint -- the ability to draw!
If you have more of an artistic background and some basic drawing skills, it is absolutely possible to paint beautiful works freehand in Photoshop CC. As a matter a fact - the image at the top of this page is 100% freehand!
While most students in Beyond the Brushes opt for clone painting, there is absolutely enough latitude for those that wish to tackle freehand work once the tools are mastered!
Not with Beyond the Brushes.
In our thriving membership, learning to paint in Photoshop is accomplished in a close-knit community. It's more than rules, it's more than tools, it's more than technique... It is SO much more than that.
It's eye opening, "ah-ha" moments that spark the fire to learn!
