- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland. … Welcome to Deke's Techniques. … So a few months ago, my son Max and I put together a video … about the 100-year-old art movement Dada. … That video, it's cringe-y low budget, … but it's got some interesting stuff. … You can check it out if you like at youtube.com/c/dekepod. … Anyway, I started with this Jean Arp piece … called "Mustache Hat" … and then I came up with my own piece "Bass Hat". … Get it? It's a bass or it's a hat, … which I drew in Adobe Photoshop Sketch on an iPad Pro. … Oh boy, I can tell, I'm already losing you. … Come on back, trust me, this is a good one. … And so then I brought my "Bass Hat" into the real Photoshop … running on a Mac or PC … and I decided to change the aspect ratio … to, let's say, vertical … and fill in those gaps at the top and the bottom … in that beige watercolor wash layer with content-aware fill. … No brainer, right? … Only instead of filling in the gaps … with potentially interesting beige texture, … Photoshop delivered what nobody wants, flat beige. …
