Roman House Painting Part I - The Drawing Photoshop Tutorial

• Program: Photoshop 7
• Difficulty: Intermediate
• Estimated Completion Time: 30 minutes

Step 1

Create a new image, 5 inches wide, 7 inches high, and 300 pixels/inch.

Step 2

Use the paint bucket tool to fill the background with color FFD5A3.

Step 3

Make a new layer, “sketch” above the background.

Step 4

Shift and drag to create a horizontal line (color #391F00, 30% opacity, hard edged round brush) about an inch from the top.

Step 5

Outline the tops of trees showing above the line. At this point they should look blocky and “puffy”.

Step 6

Create a slanted line beginning about an inch from the bottom and ending three inches above the bottom.
