Above is a screenshot of the basic Photoshop underpainting of “Winter”. Below is a visual tutorial of the painting process. Please feel free to ask any questions that may come to mind, since my text explanation is spare.

It looks amazing. I am still getting to grips with photoshop and finding it extremely interesting and fun. Thanks for sharing.
You are very welcome:) Another one coming soon.
this is really fascinating, and really inspiring Elena. thanks so much for the post and the clear description (another rare skill 😉 namaste …
Thanks for visiting Anake. I’m enjoying your blog as well.
My beautiful and creative friend, dear Elena, I want to say Thank you, especially for your nice words on my emotional day, you are so nice. I feel myself so lucky with you all.
Blessing and Happiness,
with my love, nia
Happiness to you too Nia. You are very welcome.
Fascinating to see the process laid out like that … I did laugh at the step “Begin to paint” … to me a bit like “Now fly the plane” … 🙂
Thank you,
Geoff
Point well taken. Hadn’t really thought about it:) Thanks for visiting.
Such an interesting process, I will have to save this, it’s much more organized than anything I do. I love Photoshop! Great post.
:o.. it may look organized, but not really. I trashed many layers that weren’t working and had brain storms near the end and kept adding layers. Yes, I love PS 2. Thanks.
I so love it when you show progress of work. It seems so simply when you show it like this – and of course it isn’t. But photoshop is great in that you can use layers, adjust their opacity and redo anyone of them at any later stage if you need to. It’s fun to see how Photoshop is being used in a none-photographic manner. Thanks for sharing.
You are more than welcome Otto. I do it a little, but I’m far less experienced with photo editing in PS:)
Wow, how cool is that!!!
It’s a lot of fun for sure…thanks!
I found your ‘process’ tutorial very informative and very clear. Thanks for that. Now I merely lack the painting and drawing skills!
Aw, you’ve got a great photographer’s eye, you could pick up the drawing skills in a flash.
Way cool….thanks for sharing that. I love digital art, but am an old-school paper and pencil type of guy. Some day maybe.
Thanks Hansi. Noth’in wrong with paper and pencil. You wield those pencils with the best of them.
I’m going to show this to my daughter and see what she can come up with.
Nothing would make me happier Janet. If she would like to publish art on my other blog
