Hello my friends,
In this video, I'll be showing you how I achieved two different styles of mist. The picture may look complicated, but trust me, you can do it. With a few different techniques using lifting, blending, and a paper towel, you'll be painting your own misty and foggy scenes in no time. I hope you find this video useful and inspiring.
Happy creating and take care,
Jackie
