Tutorials
This was a choose-your-own project. I chose to follow a tutorial that changes a photo to look like it was painted using water colors. This involves the use of multiple layers, filter options and blending modes to create the finished product. This is a picture of a Cape Cod light house that was transformed to look like a water color painting.
This was another tutorial that I found which involves the use of a layer mask to change the color of hair and, in this picture, the color of her lips.
