Two ways to digitise your watercolours in Photoshop

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 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.
