Léa Pinto works her way down to the minute details with Photoshop’s toolset
“While painting, and even in my everyday life, I see objects as shapes. If you look closely at my paintings you’ll only see simple shapes everywhere! I like to paint with a limited brush set as this allows me to stay focused on shapes and simplification. I mainly use the Basic Round Hard/Smooth brushes and the Square Brush with no opacity. I also like to use several tools from Photoshop such as the Lasso, Marquee and Gradient tools.
