Wet
Paint
This weekend I tried the wet paint tutorial from the scrapbook campus in
paint shop pro. This technique will teach you how to make elements or letters
looking like wet paint.
It was such fun playing around with this technique. You can use it on
letters, like in the tutorial, to give great effects to your digital scrapbook
pages.
You can also use it to create a word art for your kit or digital
scrapbook pages. Imagine that you make a kit with some chocolats in it,
for Valentines day, or Christmas for exemple. You can write the word chocolate
in brown and then you can used the wet paint technique on this letters. It
makes them look like if the letters had melted in the sun and the chocolate
flowed off the letters on the paper.
You can also used the same technique on the bottom of a frame and make it
look like the frame flowed on the paper.
You can play around with the bevel changing the width, depth or ambiance to
have some different effects on your letters or other elements.
You can make a wet paint spot and on a papier this will make it look
like if you just spilled some paint on your
paper.
You can try to make some overlays with this technique, using the
technique on several spots, without using a bevel, in a greyscale. Duplicate
them and play with the opacity, you can only make some, or fill you page with
the wet paint spots. At the end you can decide to add a bevel to some of the
spots. Just be sure to save the layered file to be able to make changes
whenever you want. Use this overlay on a coloured paper that will give a
wonderful look to it.
This technique is so versitale, I' m sure you can find a lot of scrapbooking
ideas playing around with it.
You will see that you will have some fantastic results.
So if you want to learn how to create your own wet paint
elements, come and take a look at the tutorials in the campus, they are
very easy to follow and you will learn a lot. It is such fun to create your own
elements.
