Today in our Special Series, we explored the fascinating process of reverse-engineering watercolour photographs. Using Colin Smith's excellent tutorial as our guide, we recreated his workflow with great success while learning several valuable Photoshop techniques along the way.
One of the highlights of the session was learning how to create, customize, and modify our own Photoshop brushes—an incredibly useful skill that extends far beyond watercolour effects. It was a fun, creative session, and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with over the next week!

I've also attached a summary of the workflow (algorithm) from his video for easy reference.
