Wet-into-Wet Water Color With Crisp Edges 1 BY CHER THREINEN-PENDARVIS For Hibiscus , a digital water color painted in Painter 7, I used water color wet-into-wet techniques and then added a few crisp edges. Wet-into-wet is a traditional technique that can be simulated using Painter 7Õs new water color technology. Wet-into-wet involves keeping the paper wet as new color is applied, so new colors blend with existing moist paint. To complete the study, crisp edges and linear details were added to bring a few areas into focus. 1 Setting up. Setting up Brush Tracking For the best performance, Macintosh users may need to increase the RAM that is allotted to Painter when working with Water Color. Before you begin to sketch and paint, itÕs important to set up the Brush Tracking because you can customize how Painter interprets the input of your stylus, including pa- rameters such as pressure and how quickly you make a brush stroke. Choose Edit> Preferences> Brush Tracking and make a representative brush stroke in the window. 2 2 Opening a new file. Starting a new file Begin by creating a new Þle with a white background (File> New). In the New Picture dialog box, click the Image button. For a rectangular format, set the Width and Height at 1100 x 850 pixels. Click OK. (The brush sizes that youÕll use will depend on the pixel size of the document.) 1 3a 3 Making a pencil sketch. Choose a natural-looking grain (such as Cold Press Water Color), from the Papers section of the Art Materials palette. Choose a neutral gray color in the Color section of the Art Materials palette and select the Cover Pencil variant of Pencils to draw your line sketch. Because it uses the Cover method, the Cover Pencil allows drawing both dark lines over light, and light lines over dark. 3d Choosing a neutral gray in the Colors section of the Art Materials palette 3b Selecting Cold Press Water Color paper in the Papers section of the Art Materials palette The pencil sketch drawn in Painter 3c Choosing the Cover Pencil in the Brushes palette 2 4a 4 Painting the Þrst washes. Plan to work from light-to-dark as you add color washes to your painting. Choose a light color in the Colors section of the Art Materials palette and choose the Diffuse Camel variant of Water Color. (Selecting a Water Color brush and making a brush stroke on your image will automatically create a new Water Color Layer in the image.) Block in large areas with the Diffuse Camel brush. When you use a light pressure on your stylus, the Diffuse Camel will allow you to smoothly lay in soft-edged washes. The diffusion built into the brush helps colors to subtly blend as you paint. Paint with strokes that follow the direction of the forms. DonÕt feel like you have to cover every inch of the flower with color. Leaving strategic areas of white will add beauty to your painting. Choosing a light pink for the first washes 4c 4b The active Water Color layer shown in the Layers section of the Objects palette. Keep an eye on the animated water drop. When it stops Òdripping,Ó itÕs safe to make a new brush stroke. Laying in light washes using the Diffuse Camel brush 3 5a 5 Building up midtones. Reducing the Opacity of the Diffuse Camel brush Using medium-value colors, begin to develop your midtones. Paint lighter colors Þrst, then add darker tones to create form. Keep your light source in mind and let your strokes follow the direction of the forms. Resize the brush, or change its Opacity as needed using the sliders on the Controls:Brush palette. Remember to preserve the subtle white areas. In this example, I added deeper colors of pink and gray-green. I also dabbed on subtle brush strokes of golden yellow to warm up the interior of the hibiscus flower. Keep in mind that Painter 7Õs water color is based on traditional water color. With traditional water color, an artist plans on drying time and this time is often used to analyze and improve the composition of the painting. PainterÕs new water color technology uses a lot of computing power. It takes time for the digital pigment to diffuse, and settle on the canvas. This is not unlike traditional water color. 5b Building up the midtones and adding some warmer colors 4 6a 6 Editing water color or the sketch. Choosing the Eraser, Dry variant of Water Color To softly erase color on a Water Color layer, choose the Eraser, Dry variant of Water Color and choose white in the Colors section. Click on the name of the layer you wish to erase in the Layers section, and brush over the area that youÕd like to lighten. I used the Eraser Dry variant to lighten color on the flowerÕs stamen. If youÕd like to edit your pencil sketch, target the Canvas in the Layers section, and switch to the Eraser variant of the Erasers and brush over the area that you want to remove. (You can not use a regular eraser on a water color layer. Also itÕs not possible to use a Water Color eraser on the canvas, or on an image layer.) In the example below, the pencil sketch is hidden (by turning off the eye icon to the left of the Canvas name in the Layers section). Later, I deleted the sketch by targeting the Canvas, choosing Select> All and pressing the Delete key. 6b 6c Selecting white in the Colors section, to erase water color to ÒwhiteÓ Using the Eraser Dry variant of Water Color to lighten the stamen area of the flower 5 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ] |
