I have been teaching myself to paint digital watercolor
painting using Tim Shelbourne's Photoshop watercolor brushes that I bought.
PhotoshopCS6 has its own watercolor brushes, which I am sure Tim's are made
from.Tim is a master of Photoshop and brush making.
I decided to try an imitate the marks and strokes made by
some of my favorite watercolor artists. I must have hundreds of art instruction
books, (two walls of book cases!) and most of them are about water media techniques. This piece was inspired by the
works of Milind Mulick. I say inspired, but not near as clean or with
the ease he paints his watercolors. I have a long way to go to be able to paint
like him! I am just pleased to learn that I can almost simulate any real watercolors with digital brushes!
I thought this looked like a lot like Milind's work even before I read the post, a very beautiful job Eva, look forward to more!
ReplyDeleteThank Pamaja. I love his work and I am honored that mine reminded you of his.I am late with my replies due to Blogger not notifying me of your comments.I am so sorry and hope to remedy the problem soon
DeleteI enjoy the works you're doing on your computer easel.
ReplyDeleteThank you Hallie. I am having fun. Sorry about the late reply. I have a glitch somewhere here in Blogger.
Delete2013 is turning out to be your digital year, Eva! Very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteThank you Carole. My studio is so cold in the winter that my old knees just can't take it anymore. Now that I am retired I prefer my warm cozy recliner and the computer! It has been a fun challenge to paint like this!
ReplyDeleteI would never have guessed this to be a digital painting. Do you print on a watercolor paper? if so, how would anyone be able to tell the difference between digital and actual paint!
ReplyDeleteRobin, it is so much fun to paint digitally. I couldn't believe it either how much it look like traditional watercolor. I don't have a good printer anymore so I can't really tell how they would look printed on an Epson printer. I just use my cheap Kodak. They look okay, but the color is off.I need to play with the setting some more. :O)
