hello there and thanks for joining me
I'm curl painter Master Aaron ruton and
in this video I'm going to be
demonstrating the spring brush pack for
particle shop so I have this image of an
Old Barn open here in Photoshop and I'm
going to go ahead and locate my particle
shop extension by going to window
extensions particle shop that'll bring
up this little panel here and that'll
let us quickly and easily access
particle shop the option I wanted select
here is duplicate active layer so I can
duplicate my active layer I'm going to
click on launch particle shop and I'm
going to select the spring brush pack
and down here in the bottom right we
have the springpack brushes let's go
ahead and start with birds and I'm going
to go ahead and open My Color Picker
here I'm going to make sure that I pin
that so that it stays open and I'm going
to pick a light blue almost white color
for my first bird and I can do one of
two gestures here to create Birds I can
either just tap with this brush to
create distant Birds if I make my brush
bigger can get big bigger bird shapes
going to go ahead and clear those birds
by resetting the other kind of stroke I
can do with a smaller brush is to draw
each wing of the bird like so these are
the little M Birds we could change our
color to a darker blue and over in the
lighter area we could put in some birds
over there
too we could do some V
shapes like that to create Birds whose
wings are going up I think that looks
pretty good for the birds so I'm going
to click on Save and I want to save only
the brush Strokes I'm to click on okay
and now I get those birds on a separate
layer I can name that layer birds and if
I want to add effects to it I can I can
go to filter and then blur and choose
gajian blur and I can blur those birds a
little bit to set them into the distance
let's go ahead and add some more objects
to our scene this time I'm going to
choose duplicate visible layers below
and merge with active layer so this
bird's layer is the active layer and the
layers below it are the background so
I'll click on launch particle shop and
that shows us a composite of all of our
layers let's add some Gra grass blades
next I'm going to choose a grass green
color if you want you can also sample
colors from within your document using
the color sample tool so I could click
on one of these greens go back to the
brush tool I'm going to go ahead and
zoom in a little bit too I'm going to
zoom in to 200% I'm going to pan down
here and over here in the dirt area I
can draw some grass
blades I want that yellowish color grass
I can select that too we can put in some
of those I'm doing kind of a long stem
with a hook at the end let's put in some
more orangey grass over
here and a few over here on this side as
well let's Zoom back out to 100% and see
how that looks I'm going to go ahead and
just quickly save this as brush Strokes
because if I have each of these objects
on a separate layer it gives me more
flexibility over editing each object so
I'll call this layer blades and again
let's duplicate visible layers below and
merge with active layer let's add in
some bushes with bushy let's pick kind
of a desaturated medium green like this
we'll use a bigger brush we'll go ahead
and just put in our little Bush here
let's put in one over on the other side
as
well and then we can switch to our
eraser and we can just erase the bottom
of these bushes I'll go ahead and save
just the brush Strokes if you wanted to
do something like add a shadow to those
you could do that if you're not happy
with the color of the Bush you can
always go to
image adjustments Hue saturation then
you can play with a hue if you want it
to be more yellow you can desaturate it
if it's too bright or add saturation if
it's too dull I think in this case
something like that will work I think
that looks pretty good for the bushes
let's continue adding more layers and
let's move on over to foliage let's pick
a nice dark green color and let's put in
a tree behind our barn here I'm going to
make a pretty big brush and I'm simply
just going to tap like this to create
some foliage let's add a lighter
color so that our tree has a shadow side
and a highlight side just like our
Bush and then we can use our polygonal
lasso tool so go ahead and just shave
off the part that's overlapping the roof
where it shouldn't be
overlapping let's jump on down to
raincloud and let's put in some more
shadowy clouds
here we could put in some distant clouds
over here on the
side and we can select the
blender and we can blend it in a little
bit just to set it into the
background since we have that rain cloud
we might as well have a little bit of a
rain shower going on here we'll make a
really big brush this time let's just
kind of tap to quickly put in a little
bit of rain shower here sprinkling down
and we can add in a Sunbeam let's select
a light yellow color now our sun is
actually coming from the left side but
since the Sunbeam goes in this direction
we'll just have to paint it in and then
flip it let's launch particle shop again
let's go ahead and select wide Leaf
let's select a dark green color like
this and down here in the water we will
pull out some stems and then quickly
pull off to the left or to the right to
create that leaf shape so pull up
lightly with the stem and then really
quickly pull to the left Lightly for the
stem really quickly to the right that
creates those nice aquatic plant shapes
and now let's start to add a variety of
flowers here let's start with the
dandelion let's select a dandelion
yellow color like this and we simply
just tap to create little
dandelion now we want them to be smaller
in the background and bigger in the
foreground next let's select floral and
we'll select a light almost white blue
color with a smaller brush we can pull
out some little petals here for our
flowers let's switch to parachute these
are little dandelion seed containers
next let's put in some poppies we'll
select kind of a reddish orange color
like this and with a small brush we'll
just tap to add some little poppies here
and there and next let's select Wild
Flower and we'll select kind of a blue
violet color let's put in some of those
just
tapping and now we have a nice
collection of flowers here let's go
ahead and click on Save we'll save only
the brush Strokes we call that layer
flowers if you wanted to you could
create a layer beneath the flowers you
could call that layer
stems and you could use a very thin
brush to draw in some stems for some of
these flowers if you want them to look
like they're coming up out of the grass
I'm going to do this mainly for the
White and the red flowers cuz the other
kinds of flowers Li low to the ground
I'm going to click back on the topmost
layer which is the flowers layer in
launch particle shop and the only two
brushes that we haven't looked at here
are tendril and veiny Leaf let's select
tendril and I'll show you what it does
I'll select a dark green color and we
can draw these nice viny shapes so if
you wanted Vines creeping up your barn
like this you could do that make a very
very small small brush for thinner finer
Vines I'll go ahead and clear that cuz I
don't want there to be vines on my barn
let's look at veiny leaf biny leaf gives
you these nice Leaf effects you can see
if I add some over here if I wanted to
have a nice tree I could draw in a bunch
of leaves really quickly and easily
because the leaves go in the direction
that you're painting and so they don't
all go the same direction and you can
get some really nice leafy clumpy
results like this if you want bigger
leaves you can use a bigger
brush and so you could have big
plants or very fine little tiny leaves
like
this but I'm not going to have any
leaves I'll go ahead and just clear that
because I think that's all the objects I
want to add to this piece now as a
Finishing Touch I might blur a few of
these objects I'm going to go to the
foliage cuz I want to set that into the
background behind the house we'll do
that on bushy and on the flowers for the
shower I'm going to choose motion blur
and we can choose that same angle that
our shower is going at and if we play
with the distance we can get a nice soft
streaky result like that let's blur the
raincloud a little bit and last but not
least we'll blur the blades and I think
the last thing I want to do is add a
shadow behind the bushes here but I
think with that I have a finished
composition I hope this demonstration
has inspired you to get creative with
the spring brush pack for particle shop
