We're going to turn this photo into a watercolor painting. Want to know how to do it?

First you need to access Sketch.

I have adjusted the Sensitivity and Smoothing so that the Preview looks like the one below. Press OK.

Then we'll want to select it all and choose Copy. This sends it the Clipboard for later. Now that it's part of the clipboard, press Control+Z once or twice to go back to the original.

Then we access KPT Pyramid Paint.

Then we want to select one of the presets and click on the check mark in the corner to accept it. Close up you can see the changes but they are hard to see in this version.

I change the color to an orange to get the tint below.

Now we will Paste in Place the sketch we copied.

Turn the pasted layer's mode to Gel. Below is a close up of the piece. Notice how it really looks like watercolor.

Select the Paint Brush tool. Choose Blender Brushes. Select Grainy Blender 20. Look at the difference that step made.
