The Mixer Brush tool in Photoshop lets you blend colors on your canvas like a real painter. This powerful feature can transform your photos by adding brushstroke textures and unique touches not possible with standard brushes.
Steps:
- Create an overlay of the subject and an empty layer.
- Select Mixer Brush Tool and adjust the Brush Settings.
- Hold Alt or Option, then click on the area from which you want the brush to sample a colour or texture in your image.
- Start painting on the empty layer.
- Enhance your image by adding shadow behind the subject and hiding some part of the subject to give a sense of depth.
Experiment with different brush settings and techniques to create anything from a delicate watercolor look to bold impasto textures. The Mixer Brush takes some practice but can give striking artistic effects.
