Learn how to create painterly portraits step by step and add beautiful angel wings in this complete Photoshop guide! Right from compositing the wings, creating shadows, and dramatic lighting, to adding complex textures and warm colors for a painterly effect, we will cover it all. Using the power of the Curves adjustments, Masking, and Blending Modes, we'll learn how to stack effects and overlays to add contrast and grunge and blend all the elements together. I hope this video helps you. Thank you so much for watching :)
