Balinese Girl in Traditional Dance

 

Balinese dance does not always depend on the storyline. The main objective of Balinese dancers is to dance to each stage of the movement and series with full expression. The beauty of Balinese dance can be seen in its abstract and beautiful movements. Bali dance is mostly religious in meaning, but with the rapid development of tourism, some dances have been performed in non-religious activities with some modifications.

In this article, I present Balinese dance in the form of a digital painting that I created using Photoshop's watercolor effect technique. The original image can find here. The summary of methods to create the above image are as follows :

1. Image size used 1380 px; 1380 px, resolution 300 ppi
2. Using multi-layer + layer mask (background, model girl, wildflower)
3. For the background and model girl each using 2 layers, the blending mode used is normal mode (opacity 100% + pin light (opacity 100%)
4. For the wildflowers using 2 layers,  the blending mode used is linear burn (opacity 100%)
5. To create a watercolor painting effect, each image uses the filter - noise - greyCstoration, after that use the filter - artistic - watercolor
6. Use the watercolor effect brush tools for layer masks
7. Then sharpen each image using the filter - sharpen - smart sharpen
8. To create a painting effect on canvas using filter - filter gallery - texture- texturizer (canvas)
9. Lighting effects using brightness and contrast (with contrast 10, and brightness 14)
10. Color effects using vibrance (with vibrance 0, and saturation -15)
