Deep In The Forest

 

Deep In The Forest was a fun one to paint.

I started it in Painter with liquid inks splayed all over the page in bright colors.  Then I took it into Rebelle.  Rebelle, is a new digital painting application that has amazing watercolor and ink effects.  I was able to get wonderful drips flowing out of the liquid inks.

Then I brought the painting back into Painter and finished it with Blend Camel Hair brushes I made.  I had so much fun finding flowers and little animals.

As always, light and dark values were a challenge, but I think I did pretty well with them.

Another problem I’ve had is putting something right smack dab in the middle of the painting.  This happens more often with rectangle-shaped canvases, so I have moved to using square canvases.

Enjoy!
