Making Sky for your Pictures

Here we are going to learn how to make a sky for our paint shop pro pictures that we are working on. You can also do this for sea and backgrounds. But you have to do this when you are doing that picture you are working on at the time.

I am doing this on 150 x 150 just to give you an example.

So lets begin

This is how I do it

We are going to as an example  I am going to show you what I did you will of course making your own and have fun.  Why I like to do as much of my own is then it is mine and not like someone else.  You will notice this is not a gradient I like them but I also want a softer look sometimes so we are going to learn how to do it this way also.

here I am showing you that I am going to use my Rectangle tool to make my first line.

Here is my first line that I did and then I will flood fill if you look below you will see the first one flood fill with the paint can.

Here is my first layer I do everything in layers because if I do not like it I can delete that layer or x it out and do another and see which one is better or that I like.

Second layer you will notice I am going lighter

3rd layer

4 layer now you can add as many layers as you want but here I did only 4

now I will merge these as visible and then I will go on to the next step

here I go to blur Gaussian blur and I do this 3 times why I move the blur numbers  up a little  and look until I like what I see then I go and do my next step, I go to window and duplicate 3 times and them merge so it fills out and that is what you come up with.

There is your sky on your picture but remember you have to do this on your picture you are working on at the time.  Remember to always do layers it is so much easier on you when you do if you make a mistake.

so here is one I did.
