25 Artistic Watercolor & Sketch Effect Photoshop Actions

Here are 25 Artistic Photoshop Actions for applying the watercolor & sketch painting effects to your photo and turning an ordinary photograph into a work of art. Keep in mind that not every image will work well with the watercolor & sketch effect applied to it. You should stick with photos that will look even better after deep contrast and bright colors are made more apparent. Also, you will lose a lot of detail when you apply the watercolor effect, so avoid applying it to images that would look worse if loss of detail were to occur.

    I really love the watercolour and sketching applications, but I see they are for Photoshop CC; I have Photoshop Elements 13 (in English) and would like to know if these actions/filters will work with Elements. Many thanks.
