Photoshop Tutorial- Green Sea
Today, we’re going t learn how to make a wavy wallpaper of a green shade. Youneed to have a basic idea about using shapes, pen tools, and handling with filllevels. If you have trouble with any of those, just fiddle around and you should be
able to do it in no time!Step 1: Create a new PSD document with your desired wallpaper size. In my case,1650 x 1080 pixels. RGB for color, with resolution of 300 pixels/inch.
Step 2: We won’t be using the default white background layer, so you can eitherleave it, or delete it. Create a new layer. Select the gradient tool, and choose thecolors ‘8dc542’ at the (a light shade of green) leftmost side and ‘357f07’ (a darkershade) for the right most.
Step 3: On the new layer (rename it to bg grad or something convenient), using aradial gradient, drag and create the gradient background. You might want to startfrom a little to the edge, instead of the center- looks better. You may want toexperiment here and there with everything that you do to get the most results.
Step 4: Now that we have a nice gradient background, we’re gonna add someshapes on it. Select the pen tool, and draw a wave pattern. Like so =>
Step 5: Duplicate the wave layers (calling them bttm wave, mid wave, top waverespectively) twice to get 3 waves. Leave a small gap between the waves. Like so,=>
Step 6: For the bottom wave, apply the color ‘acd373’, and set blending mode from
‘Normal’ to ‘Multiply’.
Step 7: For the middle wave, apply the color ‘8dc63f’ and set the blending mode toMultiply, again.
Step 8: For the top wave, apply the same color as Step 7, ‘8dc63f’ and set blendingmode to linear burn, with Opacity of 50%.
Step 9: Now, let’s make this a little less plain. It doesn’t take a lot. Draw a perfectcircle by creating the shape while holding down the shift key. Color code for shape:8dc542. Place it somewhere around the center of the gradient, where it’s lightest.Lower the fill level to 20%.
Step 10: Duplicate the layer of the circle shape by right clicking on the layer, andclicking ‘duplicate layer’.
Step 11: Select the duplicated layer, and press Control + T to bring up thetransform tool. Click on one of the corner anchors, press shift, and drag it to make itsmaller. For this layer, lower the fill to even lower- at 8%.

Final steps: Experiment. Experiment. Experiment. Try out different blend modes,different fill/opacity levels. It’s possible to come to this same graphical resultfollowing different routes and methods- nothing is writ in stone, so try out differentshapes, instead of waves, or squares instead of circles. Try out different colors. Seewhat you can bring forth into the light.
