Creative floral art Photoshop course

This course is the third in a series dedicated to floral art.
After creating a first course a few years ago, laying the foundations of floral design, a second course followed more recently, teaching how to use certain plugins.

This Photoshop Creative Floral Art course, completely independent of the previous 2 and completely new, will teach you how to create unique and artistic floral compositions. You'll discover how to use Photoshop to transform images of flowers into real works of art.

The concept here is to create magnificent artistic compositions featuring flowers, mainly tulips in various colors, which seem to dance gracefully against a clear, luminous, almost ethereal background. A delicate blur effect surrounds the flowers and their stems, giving them an impression of movement and softness, as if swaying in a spring breeze. The overall effect is poetic, light and dreamlike, evoking nature's delicate renewal.

What you'll learn:

✅ Clipping and selection techniques to isolate flowers precisely
✅ Using layers and blending modes for artistic effects
✅ Creating harmonious floral compositions
✅ Application of textures, lights and special effects for artistic rendering
✅ Advanced retouching and colorimetry techniques to magnify colors

Methodology :

• Real-time demonstrations with practical exercises
• Source files provided for self-paced practice
• Personalized support and follow-up for effective progress

Using plug-ins:
Although they're absolutely unnecessary for this course, I'll show you a few possibilities using plugins. If you don't have them, you can download trial versions. They are installed in Photoshop filters.
Boris FX Optics: this software specializes in the creation of visual effects. It contains a huge number of filters, all of which can be modified, offering almost infinite possibilities.
Food2: this plugin lets you create water reflections. It's very easy to use, and creates some interesting effects.
Nik Collection: this software suite is well known to photographers. Here, I'll show you how to use some of the lesser-known filters.

For your information:
Boris FX and Flood 2 are only available in English. However, it's not very difficult to use them, even without understanding the language.

Notes :
This course consists of a theoretical and a practical part. I will adapt and alternate these two parts according to the knowledge you have already acquired, and the techniques I will introduce to you.
For the practical part, you will be guided through the image creation process.

Course video :
This course is accompanied by a video, recorded live during the course.
Depending on your specific needs, which will be assessed during the course, certain additional points may be added to the video.
The video will be sent to you in MP4 format, via WeTransfer, after the course.

Working files :
Image files used during this course are provided, and sent prior to the course date.

By the end of this course, you'll be able to create sublime floral arrangements and add a unique artistic touch to your projects!
