Well… As I am not aware of Photoshop, and knowledge is very poor (I use only Photoshop elements), and not a perfect bilingual, it is quite a lot difficult to understand everything… But, this tuto is technically a very good one, I understood the global explanations and almost able to understand the written ones. I do need those written ones. This work – painting – is a marvel and I hope to be able to realize same ones when having been able to learn at least Photoshop ! I do thank you Gail, you are my “Master of art” and you lead me on this free creativity way… I will do my best and hope to be better and better. Once again, I do thank you. Danielle
Thank you so much Danielle!! If you ever have any questions, just ask. If I can help I will!
Have a wonderful Christmas season!
Hey… Juste entre moi et toi Danielle… Je suis aussi un débutant avec Photoshop et depuis que j’ai commencé a utiliser ces formation par internet, je m’améliore de plus en plus et je trouve Photoshop (CC 2017) tellement le “Fun” à utiliser!!! Wow!!!! Je ne regrette pas l’abonnement que je paie chaque mois à Adobe pour ce logiciel!!! Si je peux t’aider avec quoi que ce soit tu peux communiquer avec moi par courriel dansudbury@gmail.com… Joyeux Noël!!!
Hi Daniel, glad you are enjoying your membership here! With so many outstanding tutorials, it makes learning fun.
Yes I was also explaining to Danielle that I find Photoshop CC easier to navigate around than Elements. Definitely worth the monthly fee.
Excellent , I now feel I have learned some steps to make mine more cohesive.

Thank you so much Linda! There’s comes a point somewhere along the line when you just let go and are not afraid to try anything. This is when you find that things are easier than you first thought. So glad you enjoyed it!!
Take care.

I love this tutorial! I have one question- where did you find the textures- or did you make them yourself?
Hi Rachel,
Thank you so much. I took the AWAKE course and the textures were part of the content that comes with the course.
Take care.

This is my first tutorial since joining Shift Art. Thankyou! Shadow technique is great! I’ve never seen it done that way before.
Glad you enjoyed it Susan!! There are so many ways to achieving the same thing in Photoshop. The thing is to find what works for you and the project you are working on.
Take care.
Gail
