Cute Brunette in Sweater

 

Watercolor painting is in a unique position in the development of painting media, which is dominated by oil paints. Watercolor painting is one of the media that always presents different challenges when working. The transparent watercolor character, with the paper that immediately absorbs the color mixed with water, makes the work process full of spontaneity. 

In this post, I present a digital watercolor painting of a cute brunette wearing a sweater object that I created using the photoshop watercolor effect. The original image can find here, and the 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, girl model, wildflower)
3. For the wildflowers,  the blending mode used is linear burn (opacity 100%) + hard light (opacity about 80%)
4. For the background and model girl, the blending mode used is normal mode + soft light (opacity about 70%)
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 -37, and brightness 29, )
10. Color effects using vibrance (with vibrance 0, and saturation -18)

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