Create realistic watercolor illustrations in one click
No subscriptions. No hassle. Just pure creativity.
Watercolor FX transforms your photos into stunning watercolor artworks directly inside Photoshop – perfect for portraits, objects, and landscapes. The plugin applies soft washes of color, natural textures, and artistic brush splashes that make your images look like they were painted by hand.
Just like in the example image, even the finest details – hair, fabric patterns, skin tones – are preserved while being blended seamlessly with watercolor strokes and splatters. The result combines realistic image detail with a vibrant, artistic finish.
Your photos become:
✅ Expressive portraits with flowing color transitions and a painted atmosphere
✅ Stylish object or fashion shots with authentic paper texture and watercolor depth
✅ Atmospheric landscapes with soft edges, light washes, and artistic overlays
Often copied and used thousands of times – here is the original.
Every effect is fully editable. You can change colors and contrast, hide or adjust overlays, experiment with splashes and pencil strokes, and adapt the background to fit your style.
Watercolor FX gives you professional results in seconds – and the flexibility to refine every detail until your artwork looks exactly the way you want.
