NPR with Painter

Landie · 29 Sept 2010, 18:53

Hi
Here is a test painting I've done with Corel Painter. As before, I model in SU, render in Kerkythea, composite in Photopaint add the Add Life entourage and finish in Painter.
This time I;ve used a coloured canvas and worked with an underpainting to add color shift and light emphasis accross the image.
Does anyone else work with Painter ?

These are some masterpieces, congratulations Landie! I think this is the first time I see Painter used here. Are you working with version 11? Is the watercolor renderer really that powerful as the videos are showing?
I am really looking at this software for some time now - the painterly effects are so different from what Pshop can do...

cheers

Huge thanks everyone..
This technique has developed out of trying, and failing many times. I needed a workflow that was efficient, with an end result I felt was truely hand painted. Painter just does it for me.

you are using 5 different types of software to achieve this nice artistic result, how long did it take you?

Hi james. I can afford to be simpler with the modelling and quicker rendering, as the finished piece is loose on detail. Overall it took 2 long days.

Hi Shura. I'm still on Painter 10 and to be honest nearly all of the watercolor brushes are very hard work and I never touch them. The brushes I use are a mix of pastels / oil pastels / airbrushes / blenders / and pencil. The big secrets are, clone painting, texturing and coloring your paper, using a lot of layers and working the underpainting. I'll post a tutorial on my site when I get a chance. If you need any tips in the meantime just drop me a line....happy to help out.

I think I have to try to use Painter program to achieve the same style.
the result is very good
thanks for the tip

Some insight is always welcome, and as you can see here you get the SketchUp folks exited.
please keep us informed!
I always was a lazy painter and doubt that I will ever get results like yours. But with 3D apps I was the same before SU turned up and changed that.

I really love these. I also tested painter, its a great app. You dont really need a renderer for this, you know.
A workflow using SU raw export and corelpainter is almost an industry standard in matte painting.

Thanks...I've never been talented enough to raw paint over a guide. I've always been amazed by matte artists. With this workflow the render from Kerkythea makes things a lot easier when using painter in clone mode.
