Another of the projects from my book Beyond Digital Photography is this painting of my son. The techniques I developed for this style of digital painting are detailed in chapter five, and are in no way a "beginner's" project. I had been reluctant to include a watercolor emulation limited to Photoshop (instead of also using Painter) until I invented a believable salt effect so characteristic of traditional watercolors.
The painting was created entirely within the Photoshop digital environment using Photoshop CS4, though it can also be accomplished using any version from PS7 on.
