Brush Modes

In MSPaint, the paint brush tool only paints on top of an image. Adobe Photoshop has a variety of BRUSH MODES that can achieve many techniques.

1- Multiply: Treats the image like a coloring book page. It will cover up white but not the existing colors. It is great for taking black and white images and coloring them, either realistically, or in amazing neon colors.

2- Color Burn: burns colors onto the image. Colors get darker the longer you hover over an area.

Brush Mode Project

1- Open image in Photoshop

2- Image> Adjust> Desaturate
This makes your image black and white.

3- Select the Brush tool. Change the Mode to Mulitply (or Color Burn). Select the desired color from the color pallet on the bottom of the tool bar.

4- Experiment painting the image.

5- Saved finished project as a JPED (.jpg) and follow Mr. Bollman's instructions on how to submit the finished work to the Blog.
