Think you’re not an artist?
Think again.
“I’m not an artist.”
You don’t need an art degree—our path builds skills step by step.


“Brushes do the magic.”
Tools help, but artistry is learned. We teach process and style.
“I can’t draw stick people.”
With Photoshop painting, Z.E.R.O. drawing skills are required. Using clone painting methods, your subject is brought in like magic!


“I don’t have time.”
Lessons are bite-sized; even 20 minutes moves you forward.
There are two ways to paint in Photoshop CC…
Clone Painting
With clone painting, you do NOT need any drawing skills. You start with a photograph and hand paint OVER the photograph bringing in your subject like magic and eliminating the most difficult stage of learning to paint — the ability to draw!
Freehand
If you have more of an artistic background and some basic drawing skills, it is absolutely possible to paint beautiful works freehand in Photoshop CC. As a matter a fact – the image at the top of this page is 100% freehand!
While most students in Beyond the Brushes opt for clone painting, there is absolutely enough latitude for those that wish to tackle freehand work once the tools are mastered!
