Thank you Helen. You have made a complicated technique very easy to understand in bite sized, thoughtful and informative chunks, you have given me the confidence to explore the brushes options and take my skills to another level.
Hey Michael, It is awesome to hear that you found this tutorial really easy to follow and hope that you have great fun putting these tips and techniques to use for your own creative projects :)
That was wonderful! I haven't ever understood how the Art History brush could be used to such great effect before. Now I see how I can use it to create fine art with it. I have an archive of antique photos that I think will come to a new life with this technique. Thank you so much!
We need some more of these videos of On how to achieve this painterly look.Can you please do a few more for those of us that are new to this look.I love this & would really like to learn this.Thank u!
Thank you for your Comment Marilyn, We love hearing from our community and I have passed your request onto our Curation Team who will add this to our upcoming tutorials.
Subscribed and liked! I literally had no idea how to do this. And this is the easiest tutorial yet. Seriously can’t thank you enough. You’re also an amazing artist.
So glad that the RUclips algorithm suggested your video. Thank you so much for explaining how to map the Art History Brush to the cropped image. Appreciated you taking to the building up process with the painted layers and the use of "opposition colors." Because this video so informative, I've subscribed to your channel to learn other types of digital design.
You are very welcome, Andre. We are so happy that you found us and We hope that you enjoy checking out our other tutorials and our live sessions with some of our most popular designers :).
Although I've seen (& implemented) this technique before, I've never seen the patented Helen Bradley Final Magic Touch, where she added bits of additional color. & her tutorials are always clear, concise, & informative. Hats off to you, Helen!
Hey Richard, thanks so much for this amazing feedback. Ha ha we love this: Helen Bradley Final Magic Touch - I think we might need to change the name of our playlist to this :)
@@HelenBradley I'm glad you enjoyed the compliment, Helen. Hopefully it made your day. But in all seriousness, I do so admire your talents & generosity in sharing them!
So happy to hear you admire Helen and enjoy her tutorials. We are really grateful to be working with such Helen and happy we can share her amazing techniques with you :)
Great tutorial, Helen. Like some others, I had a problem with the brush painting white on a new layer. I found that I had to make my snapshot from the flyout menu on the History panel, and change "From: Document" to "From: Merged Layers." I was then able to paint on a new layer on top of my photo. I also started with a raw image from Adobe Camera Raw, then converted that to 8-bit in Ps. After that, I created my snapshot. Hope this helps some others. Thank you.
We're really glad that you found this tutorial super helpful Eric and thanks so much for sharing your findings too, we hope that our community find this handy too!
Wow,this looks like a lot of work! I love Topaz filters & believe I can get the same effect with less work. I love PS & use my topaz filters in that program!
Hey Marilyn, Thanks for commenting and it's wonderful to hear that you can achieve a similar effect with your Topaz filters. We really appreciate your feedback, and hope that you can still enjoy this tutorial and can incorporate some of the tips into your future designs :).
Wow that is so awesome to hear Shaun! If you would be happy sharing your work with us, we would love to see what you create using these Photoshop tips :)
@@DesignCuts No worries.. You can see some of my work at shaunpoolethinkcreative.foliohd.com/my-gallery but I will show you a piece of art from what you showed me yesterday.. I can't wait to do something with this Idea.. Thank You and I will show you something soon. :)
That's great to hear you found this tutorial helpful! This style should work okay on portraits - we really would love to see your designs if you would like to share them :)
Thank you for this, it was a lot of fun. I think my image was a bit dark and it got a tad muddy but a run through ACR in PS and it came out nicely. I too was having an issue with the white brushing. I figured I would follow along precisely and cropped my image (although I did not move the handles) and it worked as in the tutorial. I was using a raw image as well so maybe if I had of save it as a jpg first and then tried it would have been fine.
We would love to help further on this tutorial :) Please would it be okay if you can contact our Customer Support Team via our Help Centre so we can take a closer look into this? designcuts.zendesk.com/hc/en-us
Really fun and useful, but I must have done something wrong. I only get some sort of white paint though I tested with a colorful photo. And no details, even though I tried all sorts of sizes on the brush and the tolerance. Do you know what I might have missed?
Karin, I am not sure what is happening here but you aren't alone as I checked and some people have the same problem and I have been able to duplicate it on one of my images. A couple of things to check: check that you are using the Art History Brush and that, in the History panel that you have the Art History Brush icon to the immediate left of the original image or the cropped image. If neither work, (and I suspect they aren't the problem), I suggest you flatten your image to a single layer, save it (as a copy if you don't want to lose your layers), close the image and open the flattened image. Now add the new layer, and see if that works. I was able to go from white paint to painting in color this way so I hope it works for you?
I think the problem was that I used a raw-file, it works with a jpg. Though I really need a lot of practise, I have discovered :-) Thank you for the answer and for the tutorial, a really fun way to make something different in Photoshop!
Such a great tutorial, when I tried the Art History Brush it's outcomed with white color, could you please help me to the way to correct it. Thank you so much!! I really love your video and appreciated all value you dedicated!!

@@DesignCuts I wish there was a way to share the picture I painted with you. It’s a portrait of people so I used a different brush, but still I love how it turned out
@@DesignCuts I am also of the WOW opinion, thank you for this tutorial! Maybe you can help me solve this (user-based?) issue? I can't seem to get my art history brush to work. It says "Could not rasterize because the pixel data for this layer is not directly editable." I have the layer set up, the brush, and I get a circle with a line through it when I mouse over the layer and I get that message above when I click on it. Am sifting on the internet to find out a fix but so far no luck. Can you help?
How do you fix it when you go to paint on the new layer and it paints white? I noticed one comment on this but his instructions on how to fix this problem were more confusing than the problem itself.
Hey Freya, Thanks for getting in touch and I am sorry that you are having some trouble with these resources. If you could pop us an email at hello@designcuts.com with a screenshot of what you are seeing on your end?
Design Cuts thank you so much. I enjoyed your video a lot. I will take a crack at it again tonight. I actually forgot about the paint dropper tool. I must have missed that part of your video. Thank you again so much.

You can certainly create different styles by picking the stylus off the tablet - it's all about experimenting and having fun 🙂.
How do you get the color of the image?
Hey Jan, if you are referring to picking out a particular colour within an image, you can do with with your paintdropper tool :)
