Artrage 6 watercolor review plus#

This last piece with the chickens took about 3 hours in Artrage to paint- considering I printed it on a 12 x 24 piece of watercolor paper, 3 hours seems pretty reasonable for the color work (plus about 2 hours sketching before hand, plus about 2 hours of roughs and concepts a while ago). I'm much happier with my current work flow. Well, I would say that last summer I was having to go through what were, in my estimation, back flips to get reasonable results- lots of stencil work, pushing pigment around while switching presets, etc. Which technique would you say effects the best balance between getting the right look with the most facile, natural method? I'm sure you do different methods and thus they have their respective qualities of experience. It worked, but it was very indirect, and it totally lost the spontaneity that makes direct painting expressive and feeling. Was more like working in Illustrator - slow and laborious, but it has its uses. It was in an effort to make my computer stuff look more like it was done traditionally, while keeping the edit-ability for doing variations etc. How straight is this stuff as a technique and how much is clever manipulation? What I mean is whether or not the painting is direct and uninterrupted or do you find you have to stop and add a texture overlay or whatever? Long ago, before ArtRage, in Photoshop I would scan in black and white drippy and splashy and water color wet into wet marks that I would then import as a layer later to assign it a color(s). Very impressive the range of watercolor effects you have been managing. If you feel up to it, you should try them. So, you'll need to learn where to place your stamps, and where to place your presets.

Neil provided these a few years back, before the more easily downloadable sets were created by Artrage, for ease of sharing. These are another great set of sponge-like stamps to use. I want to include a link to the Neil Brushes set here, with the various Superfuzz brushes. Hope that's helpful! I'll try and upload a Tutorial #3 here next week, and go over some of this more systematically. Then I went over it with the Triangular Chaos brush. I did the whole tree canopy with this sticker, with the Hue and Luminance dials altered again. He made a 'flat' set for me here, and its wonderful for watercolor work. The other one I use a lot is Someonesane's Sponge Stickers. Then try laying down one color with a watercolor brush, then lightly painting a different 'highlight' or 'shadow' color over the top of it with the Triangular Chaos, and you'll see what I'm talking about. Just play with it on its own first, and you'll see what it actually does individually. What it seems to do is emulate the effect of dabbing a color into a wet area- there's a soft kind of 'veination' to the spray, as it doesn't have a hard edge. I don't build value much with it, but I use it at the end of the process to add good textures and ambient color. I often make a new layer, blow the brush up really big to 500%, dust the color in pretty lightly with it, gently erase around the object, and collapse the layer down.

You can see some of this in the greens I've laid in on the blue/black chicken,the green I lay in to the orange chicken to the far right, or some of the softer greens in the tree, etc. Set the Luminance and Hue dials under Random to 10-20% in the Spray Variations chart, and you'll get good results. I don't use the others much, but I use Triangular Chaos a lot for very soft ambient color noise. Juz's Grunge Stickers are a Sticker Spray set that Juz made. The Airbrush Splats (which I didn't use in this pic, but did in the some of the tree ones one the last page) is part of Artrage 3- they're Sticker Sprays and are in the Art Brushes group at the top of the list.
