Graphic Buds

Week 2 - Lesson 3

Getting Your "Fill" of PSP

Tutorial found HERE

I used Foreground/Background gradient, edited a bit to have more of the orange color and less of the dark green.  I set it on 2 repeats.  Texture was set on “Dunes”.  Floodfilled and merged.  This resembled mountains to me so did new layer and with lasso selected top part that I wanted as sky.  I first floodfilled the selection with solid white then with Foreground/Background gradient set with light blue and white.  Texture was set on Plastic 3.

I did  use the retouch>darken RGB a bit in the green and also smudge.  I then added the pine trees.  The ones in the background were on separate layer and I applied gaussian blur to them.  I used soften on the ones in the foreground with the exception of the largest one.  I then added signature from brush I’d made.
