So bless it, but it dose need help from other tools at times!įor me that help comes mostly from the Pallet Knife! Not just in blending colours but for wetting out areas and edges too.īut also the Custom Brush and Sticker Spray all have their moments. (And why, after all these years dose it still only come with a Round Head!?) It’s OK strait out of the box, but without at least those texture layers it is a little lacklustre. Using a couple or more layers in painting the same area can help and often I will slightly alter the colour, thinners, brush, that layer’s texture, etc, etc… before merging them down to the final “finished” single layer or Grouping them. Which also means picking and using colours off a reference image doesn’t work so well.īut this is no bad thing as it helps train your eye in judging what colour/shade should be used! Specific layers set to Overlay and Colour Burn being my favoured blend modes for these texture layers, mostly placed at the top of the layer stack but sometimes lower down if needed applied globally and/or just to specific areas.īut I find that they really need to be setup before starting the actual painting as they will affect how the colours under them will look.

One of the main things that will really help “sell” the Watercolour look is in getting some more paint “texture” into the colours.įor want of a better term watery watercolour paint can have a certain “gritty” look about it as it settles into the paper and sometimes from the type of pigment itself. If I may be so bold as to make a couple of personal general observations based on how I paint even though my stuff is not at the watery end of the spectrum that I believe you are going for… I like this too, from an artistic point of view the Red Fox’s colouring always works well against a snowy background!
