This course may be unavailable.

Overview

Learn how to create hyperrealistic cars, boats, and bicycles, like the ones featured in Bert Monroy's painting Amsterdam Mist, with Photoshop CC.

Follow along in the development of Bert Monroy's latest artwork, Amsterdam Mist! This course, the final volume in the series, focuses on the vehicles, boats, and many, many bicycles in this incredible painting, which was created over twenty-two painstaking months with Photoshop CC. Bert shows how to create cars with decorative hubcaps, transparent windshields, and realistic license plates; decommissioned boats, draped in tarps; and three different bicycle models, which he ended up using over four dozen times in the finished painting.
