Welcome to Photoshop month! Because Photoshop plays such a large role in taking my designs further, this month I’m sharing some of the tools and tricks I use all the time in Photoshop. This month is specifically in celebration of my new Intro to Photoshop class with Brit + Co which launches tomorrow (today’s the last day to sign up and get 15% off using this link!). In the class, we create this outcome, which uses watercolor textures and lettering, so today I wanted to share some quick tips on adjusting watercolor textures for your specific needs.
I’ve been asked quite a bit lately how to change any watercolor texture to a specific color, so I think this tutorial was meant to be! Say you want to incorporate a custom watercolor texture into your branding – you love the texture, but it’s not the right color for your brand. Or, you just want it to be something else. In this week’s video, I walk you through three methods using Photoshop: changing all of the colors within the watercolor to something different, changing the entire watercolor into one specific color (which is great for branding), and changing just a portion of the watercolor to a different, specific color. All the tips in the video below!

The Skillshare class mentioned where we go step by step creating textures, then digitizing + cutting them out in Photoshop is right here 🙂

Can this be done in Illustrator?

It can’t in the same way – you could mask color blocks with different blend modes on top of the texture, but you won’t get the same kind of outcome. Photoshop is the way you should go for something like this

Hey, you’ll have to purchase the texture in order to use it on your channel – you’re not allowed to pull it from the website directly for use.

Hey Teela,
I had a question about the vectorising watercolour textures. When you have vectorised it, what type of file do you save it as in Illustrator?

Hey!
You’d want to save it as both an ai and eps file 🙂
