Beautiful Javanese Girl in Blue Kebaya

 

Kebaya is the national dress of Indonesia. Keeping up with the times, kebaya designs have also undergone many changes in styles and models following trends. Javanese kebaya is one type of kebaya model that is quite popular in Indonesia. Javanese kebaya is mostly made of transparent cloth with simple patterns such as brocade cloth and is characterized by a V-shaped collar.

As an effort to broaden your knowledge, in this post, I present a digital painting of a Javanese woman with a kebaya. I use photoshop to create this digital painting using the watercolor effect technique. The original image can find here, and the brief methods to create the above image are as follows :

1. Using multi-layer + layer mask (background, girl model, wildflower)
2. For the background using 2 layers, the blending mode used is the normal mode (opacity 100%) + vivid light (opacity 60%)
3. For the model girl each using 2 layers, the blending mode used is normal mode (opacity 100%) + soft light (opacity about 84%)
4. For the left wildflowers using 2 layers,  the blending mode used is linear burn (opacity 100%) + multiply (opacity 93%)
5. For the right wildflowers using 2 layers,  the blending mode used is linear burn (opacity 100%) + hard light (opacity 79%)
6. To create a watercolor painting effect, each image uses the filter - noise - greyCstoration, after that use the filter - artistic - watercolor
7. Use the watercolor effect brush tools for layer masks
8. Then sharpen each image using the filter - sharpen - smart sharpen
9. To create a painting effect on canvas using filter - filter gallery - texture- texturizer (canvas)
10. Lighting effects using brightness and contrast (with contrast -36, and brightness 20)
11. Color effects using vibrance (with vibrance 0, and saturation -16)
12. Image size used 1380 px; 1380 px, resolution 300 ppi
