I don't know painter that well so any help will be appreciated.Hi Andre. I prepare a flattend psd file 300dpi at about 2200 pix wide. This works well for the brush heads in painter. Too big a file and the brush stroke drags and the marks are a little out of scale for me.
So open the image in painter > file menu > clone. A new image is created called clone of whatever. In the Select menu > All > Edit menu > Clear. The new clone image is gone and you have a blank white sheet. The original image to clone is still on screen behind your blank sheet. Go to the side toolbar and to the square icon for paper selection. Here I usually go for Artists Canvas. now you're ready to paint.
Now I go to the Window menu > Color palettes > Show colors. This pop up has an important button on it in the shape of a rubber stamp. to clone paint the image behind, whatever brush you use this stamp needs to be clicked on.
Now go to the Window menu > Show layers. Leave this pop up on your screen and straight away add a new layer to work on. I would'nt bother with watercolour layers to begin with.
Now choose your brushes from the brush category selector at the top and have fun. I usually mix and match oil pastels, airbrushes, pencil, blenders etc. Add a new layer for each type and build it up.
Let me know how this works for you and I'll post a second explanation of brushes. -
great,cool, creative sight and simple tip, thanx mate:) -

Nice work, Landie.
Just wondering why you chose to compose the scene in PS and not add entourage in SU? File size?I just find that its a bit more with the initial medium....

Thank you. I work this way becouse it allows me a lot more freedom with composition. Especially with the people. I can reposition things until I'm happy, without having to go through the rendering process each time. It is also a lot quicker to amend if later on the client wants extra people or another tree for instance. I also like to keep the 3D clear of people as what works with one view of the building may not with another. I think working 3D is fantastic and I couldn't do without it, but there is still a lot better done 2D

Cool work!
Seems like preset 6 are getting popular for KT, but the "Thea" on the final composite is confusing.
