This painting may look complicated, but we knocked it out in about five minutes!

The secret is Symmetry Painting. This wonderful feature of the Photoshop Brush Tool lets you paint in several places at once to create patterns and symmetrical shapes. Used alongside brush features like scattering effects and smoothing, it doesn’t take long to create art like this. 

It’s such a relaxing and mindful technique that you may lose track of time...

01 CREATE THE BASE

Open a blank image or use a photo as a base for your painting. We flipped and blurred an image here to give us an interesting mix of colors and tones for our backdrop. Once done, grab the Brush Tool from the toolbar and choose a color in the Color Picker. Make a new empty layer for your painting.
