Al Fresco Art Club Challenge, Oct 25, 2020: Draw With One Brush

Cup of tea, Photoshop Hard Round Pressure Opacity brush

Today’s Al Fresco Art Club challenge was to avoid the too many choices trap that we always encounter in digital art. In my case, I fall into the too-many-brushes trap. I’ve bought thousands of digital brushes in my quest to find The One Brush to Rule Them All, and I couldn’t create a decent painting with any of them. So, today I followed the advice of some Youtube Ninja Digital Painters who say you can do it all with one brush: the Photoshop round opacity brush. And that’s what I used for this painting.

Resources well worth a look:
