I'm trying to apply multiple colours in a single photography.
The effect that i want is like this one:
I've been playing with standard gradients, big brushes, opacities and saturations, but none of them give me this great colours overlayed to the image.
Does somebody know any tutorial to do it?
Thanks in advance.

An alternative to @BurningLemons Adobe Illustrator answer would be to use a set of objects with gradients with one of the color stops set to transparent. Once you have your objects you can mix & match opacity and blending modes to achieve your desired effect.
In the above image, note that the individual path (with a gradient fill) has been adjusted. You'd need to change each object separately if you construct your image this way.

If you want to do this in illustrator, you need to create a Gradient Mesh with Mesh Tool.
Once you have a Mesh, just change points on the Mesh to desired color to create desired effect. Sorry no Tutorial, just go learn and experiment. There are lots of good tutorials on the 'Mesh Tool' and creating 'Gradient Meshes'.
It looks as though the image has been desaturated first and gradients liberally applied to a layer above as in:
This creates something akin to this:

This looks like it could be a linear gradient in a bit of an angle, but since you can make a bit more versatile gradients by brushing and this is already somewhat familiar to you, here's how to do that in Photoshop:
Make a new layer and brush in the colors
Use hard round brush and don't leave any gaps ...or do if that is what you are going for.
Filter > Blur > Gaussian blur.
Radius: 147%
The radius value depends on the look you're going for and the size of your image.
Blending the color to the image
Blending mode: Color
Opacity: 55%
Make note that the Blending modes and opacity levels are pretty subjective. For example: For a really light image, you might wanna use Multiply instead and for some images you might wanna try multiple color layers and multiple blending modes...
