The Mixer Brush - The Kingfisher
Mini project using the Mixer Brush in Photoshop to create beautiful painterly birds like this magnificent Sacred Kingfisher by Andrew Haysom
The mixer brush is an underused and misunderstood tool in Adobe Photoshop. It can be used to over-paint on top of photos to create a beautiful, unique, and painterly look. Once mastered it can also be used to create paintings from a blank canvas, using various brushes. From Oil to watercolours and pastels. In these tutorials, you will be given all class materials, including a PDF eBook with all class notes and screen captures, which can be downloaded and kept or watched offline.
