Introduction :

Yay! we meet again! Hope you guys are doing well.

Here I am, your Lalaluta, back with yet another tutorial. So let 's not talk much and jump right into it.

 

A Quick Summary On Watercolor :

Painting is always fun and exciting , Watercolor being a very important part of it.

The soft and not so tidy strokes of Watercolor makes it one of a kind. One stroke after another, it takes time for a painter to portray and develop the real beauty of Watercolor painting. That exactly is the real beauty of it.

 

Coming from a traditional painter myself, the digital world of illustration seemed totally foreign to me in the beginning . It took me quite a while to get the same result on my digital tab ,that I would normally get on my canvas. But eventually I learned how to get it done .

Now I will break it down for you guys and make it as simple as possible.

Let's go!

Here is today's tutorial's Guideline :

The Importance Of Watercolor Texture Paper I Preparing The Canvas

When we compare the Traditional Watercolor drawing and the Digital Watercolor drawing side by side, the prime visible difference we can see is the Texture of the canvas!

By adding a texture paper, and setting it to the very top of the layers we can actually have the same Watercolor texture paper that we have in our traditional canvas.

TIP: I usually keep the opacity of the texture layer by 70 - 80.

Leave the texture paper layer at the top, and continue to draw your landscape.

As we are working with a clear summer sky, brush some pretty blue color onto the canvas.

[ TIP: Blend Blend and Blend! but make sure to leave some uneven spots. ]
