Let's edit your watercolours! Have you always wondered how to get your watercolours from paper to a digital motif with no white background? Let me show you how in this beginner friendly photoshop class.

Together we will scan in your watercolour painting, fix dust and blemishes and learn two different ways that we can remove the paper background leaving us with digital watercolour motifs ready to use.

We will cover

Scanning our artwork
Opening our scan in photoshop
Setting up a file ready for editing
Removing the white background
Different ways to select our motif with the wand tools
Cleaning up edges
Fixing blemishes
Comparison of the two methods
Saving transparent files

Once you have digitised your motifs we will save them as a transparent PNG so they can be used for clipart, art prints, invitations, repeating patterns, POD sites, stickers and more!

You will need adobe photoshop for this class.
