In the Options Bar the Smoothing was set 12% РІР‚вЂњ this seems to make the brush move smoother. Changes were made to the brush settings with the spacing to 139% (to avoid patterning), Angle Jitter 50% (to avoid pattern repetition), and Orchid Pattern (4) from Jessica Johnson set to Scale 249% (again to avoid patterning РІР‚вЂњ this was a freebie from one of her newsletters), Brightness -1, Contrast 7, Mode Multiply, Depth 84 and Depth Jitter 16.

First selected the birds from their background, found a texture to put behind them (in this case it was a free Shadowhouse Creations Nov 2014-7 texture) and then a brush was created from the texture using the above steps. The image was also post processed the same as the butterfly image above. Anyway I thought the connected beaks was sort of interesting as far as birds go. These two birds (not sure what kind they are but appear to be a type of duck) were not fighting, but seemed to be buddies (or mating possibly). In this case, the blend mode was left set to Normal and at 100% opacity. The strokes were applied on their own layer above the butterfly so that the opacity and blend mode could be adjusted. Of course the different sections can be added to the brush to a really special look you want, but it is a really easy and fun way to create these brushes.

Once you are happy with your settings, be sure to resave the brush by clicking on the plus icon at the bottom of the Brush Settings and the Brushes Panels. Note that the patternРІР‚в„ўs Invert box is checked for this brush.Р”В§. Same brush but slightly different settings tipping the texturing in the brush more towards the pattern and less the original texture. A variation of the brush which enhanced the spatter that was in the pattern more is shown in the brush settings on the right side. Try different patterns that will give different results. Pretty Actions Antique is the pattern used РІР‚вЂњ this will blend with the texture in the brush. Then the Textures section was adjusted as shown on the left below. In the Brush Tip Shape section, the Spacing was set to 70% so you can see the texture. In the brush above, only two sections were changed. Need to open the Brush Settings Panel so that a few variables can be added. As the brush looks right now, it is not very good. My brush was named SJ Round Texture Bowl of Roses.Р”В¦. Select the Gradient Tool set to Black/White in the swatches and drag out from middle to lightly fade the edges of the brush.Р”Тђ. Turn off all the other layers so only the circular texture can be seen.Р”В¤. Press CTRL+J to place it on its own layer above the texture.Р”Р€.

While still in my document with the texture added, the Circular Marque Tool was used to make a small selection on a part of the texture that looked particularly nice.Р”Сћ. The butterfly looked really strange lying on top of the texture I liked so by creating the brush with a similar texture, the edges and new color could be added to the butterfly to blend it in nicely.Р”РЋ. The beautiful texture I was using is one by Melissa Gallo called Bowl of Roses Canvas and it comes with her older Painting with Photoshop Workshop (this is still an excellent class if you are serious about learning to paint in PS and she provides lots of extras). Maybe I can save you a bit of time when you need one.

Thought I would write a very short blog on how to do this as it took me a few minutes to figure it out. In the Blue Morpho Butterfly image above, it created a very nice painterly effect to place on top of the subject.
