Beautiful Jamu Seller

 

Jamu is a homeland of herbal medicine from Indonesia. It is predominantly herbal medicine made from natural materials, such as roots, bark, flowers, seeds, leaves, and fruits. Materials acquired from animals, such as honey, royal jelly, milk, and ayam kampung eggs are also often used. Jamu can be found throughout Indonesia, however, it is most prevalent in Java, where Mbok Jamu, the traditional kain kebaya-wearing young to middle-aged Javanese woman carrying a bamboo basket, filled with bottles of jamu on her back, traveling villages and towns alleys, offering her fares of traditional herbal medicine, can be found. In many large cities jamu herbal medicine is sold on the street by hawkers carry a refreshing drink, usually bitter but sweetened with honey or palm sugar.

In this post, I present a beautiful jamu seller in watercolor digital painting. You can find the original image here, and the brief methods to create the above image are as follows :

1. For all painting effects I use photoshop
2. Image size used 1380 px; 1380 px, resolution 300 ppi
3. Using multi-layer + layer mask (background, girl model, wildflower)
4. For the background using 2 layers, the blending mode used is normal mode (opacity 100%) + hard light (opacity 60%)
5. For the girl model using 2 layers, the blending mode used is normal mode (opacity 100%) + hard light (opacity 71%)
6. For the wildflowers using 2 layers,  the blending mode used is linear burn (opacity 91%) + linear burn (opacity 91%)
7. To create a watercolor painting effect, each image uses the filter - noise - greyCstoration, after that use the filter - artistic - watercolor
8. Use the watercolor effect brush tools for layer masks
9. Then sharpen each image using the filter - sharpen - smart sharpen
10. To create a painting effect on canvas using filter - filter gallery - texture- texturizer (canvas)
11. Lighting effects using brightness and contrast (with contrast -35, and brightness 20)
12. Color effects using vibrance (with vibrance 0, and saturation -30)

The method used as mentioned above really depends on how your taste and creativity are.
