Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 1:24 am

Photoshop is a widely used program for crafting digital art, and one of its main features is the ability to paint on the program’s canvas. If you’re new to Photoshop, or digital painting in general, you might be wondering how to go about painting on Photoshop. In this article, we’ll give you a quick overview of the various painting tools available in Photoshop, as well as some tips on how to get started with digital painting.

The first thing you need to do when you want to paint on Photoshop is to create a new layer. To do this, go to the ‘Layer’ menu at the top of the screen and select ‘New Layer’. A new layer will appear in your ‘Layers’ palette (usually located on the right-hand side of the screen).

Next, you need to select a brush. Photoshop comes with a variety of default brushes, but you can also download custom brushes made by other users. To select a brush, simply click on it in the ‘Brushes’ palette (usually located near the bottom of the screen).

PRO TIP: This article contains outdated information about Photoshop. It may contain information about features that are no longer available, or describe techniques that are no longer considered best practices.

Once you’ve selected a brush, it’s time to start painting! You can use the mouse or a graphics tablet to paint on Photoshop.

If you’re using a mouse, left-click and drag your mouse across the canvas to start painting. If you’re using a graphics tablet, hold down the left mouse button and move your stylus across the tablet’s surface.

When you’re finished painting, you can add text to your image by selecting the ‘Type’ tool from the ‘Toolbox’ palette (usually located on the left-hand side of the screen). Click anywhere on the canvas and type your text. You can change the font, size, color, and other properties of your text by selecting the ‘Text’ option from the ‘Layer’ menu at the top of the screen.

Finally, save your image by going to the ‘File’ menu and selecting ‘Save As’. Choose a file format and location for your image, and then click ‘Save’.
