From the Author
This book is about gaining control of Photoshop as a paintbox so you can make art with the electronic brush as naturally and predictably as with one of china bristle and wood.
Digital fine art has held my imagination for a long time now. I use Photoshop every day to make my living as a print and web designer, and I yearned to try it for making art. Finally, I decided there was no reason to be intimidated by Photoshop as a fine art tool.
I was amazed by the similarities and intrigued by the differences of doing a traditional or a digital painting, and the structure of the book came to reflect that dichotomy. It's built around lessons on still life, portrait, and landscape. You start with a sketch, and then build up layers of color to refine images. Only in digital painting, you can remove or alter brushstrokes which would have been "permanent" otherwise. This opens your art up into millions of possibilities and permutations.
We wanted to avoid digital art pitfalls like just running a filter on an image and calling the effect "art" when it was only the interesting effect of an algorithm somebody else wrote. That led me to see that nuance and complexity--which bring the touch of the artist's hand often lost in digital processes--can be achieved with repeated brush and eraser strokes, fading, layering, building up, taking away, changing colors and shapes--much like the way you create a "real" painting.
I found that I got looser creatively the more I learned about Photoshop's brushes and their settings, and when I could travel quickly through them. I hope Fine Art Photoshop loosens your creativity the same way.
Finally, when you reach the point where people want to buy your art, the book contains valuable information about where and how to output it properly for exhibition in galleries or museums, for sale and archival purposes.
Let me know what you think of our book.
