In this chapter, we will be painting a picture that illustrates the 'less is more' concept. Basically, we want to create an image that looks like we spent a lot more time on it than we actually did.

What You Need to Know About Photoshop for This Chapter

The following tutorial assumes that you know some fundamentals of working in Photoshop CS, such as:

• Where individual palettes are located

• How to adjust a brush's opacity

• How to create layers and change their blend mode

• How to resize your brush and sample color from within the image (preferably using the hot keys)

• How to create and use patterns

• How to create brushes

You can arrange the Photoshop workspace to suit your own liking, so this chapter does not discuss where to locate specific items.
