We will draw and paint petals in this lesson. We need to create new path for each petal so that it will give us separate selection for the ease of painting.

For this, you need to know the working of path and the Pen Tool of Photoshop.

1. Go to path palette and create new path. Start adding anchor points according to the first petal. Edit the points using Direct Selection and Convert Point tool.

2. Once finished with the proper path, go to Path palette and "Load path as a selection" . Select paint brush and paint with the necessary color.

6. Similarly draw and paint second......

..................and the third petal.

7. Check out the Path palette. You will find separate path for each petal. There is a "Create New Path" button marked with red circle.

7. We applied Dry Brush filter to add the effect in the flower.
