Hand-Painting Images

In this lesson, you'll work with creating complementary sets of colors, adding gradients to an image, and then hand painting to colorize existing images. You will work extensively with Photoshop's brush tool, layers and especially Photoshop's layer blending modes to convincingly add or change color. Lastly, the lesson will wrap up with applying small details to an image to give it realism such as with the Burn and the Dodge tools.
