Photoshop without the High Cost
A couple of newsletters ago I told you about a great little website called TINYWOW.COM. That website was really good for resizing your images and real easy to use. If you have used Photoshop in the past but you no longer can get it because now you have to pay big bucks for a photoshop subscription... have I got good news for
you. I can't believe I found this photoshop editing website that works just like photoshop for the basic needs we artists use photoshop for and it's free and nothing to sign-up for..
The site is called Photopea and it works so well that I now use this on my laptop.
No need to download any application to your computer. Just use a web brouser, open up Photopea and off you go doing things just like yyou would in photoshop.
If you are not familiar with how to use photoshop, just download a photo onto this site and start messing around with it. Best way to learn is just messing around with it. If you want to do step by step learning you can even go to this site and they will teach you HERE.
This has to be the best find I have ever made on the web... So great that I don't have to download or pay for photoshop when I am on the road with my laptop.
Robert SteinmetzSaw this artists work from the National Watercolor Society exhibition and went to his website and saw some nice work. After seeing the TWSA show last week I think I am getting a little more accustomed to tight watercolor work. It seems like that is the way
many watercolorists are going. I think it you go hyper realistic then try to also get some mood and soft edges in some of your work... kind of like this tight painting of Roberts.
