Plugins + Watercolor [AR3 Studio Pro]

[misterpaint]

a simple solution for watercolor paintings (for ArtRage 3 Studio Pro)

well.. I have used a "free "plugin for this experiment (only PC version)

Filter: Thredgeholder
http://www.littleinkpot.co.uk/FreePlugins.htm

1) "FILE / IMPORT IMAGE FILE TO LAYER" to impor your image, and apply Thredgeholder filter for create the sketch





2) Create a new layer (or more layers) and set "Blend Mode/Tint"



3) Uses water colors on the layer (or multiple layers)



I recommend these Watercolor presets:
Delicate on Dry, Dried Strokes, Dry on Wet, Wet on Wet

Ciao!

Are you saying it's now possible to use photoshop plugins in ArtRage?

[AndyRage]

Yes.
Not all Photoshop plugin filters work. (And you should save your work before testing which ones do work!)
But there are many plugins which do work. Photoshop plugin filter support is only available with ArtRage Studio Pro, not with ArtRage Studio.

Not all Photoshop plugin filters work but this it's ok
I have tried at least a hundred filters, all work well!


soon.. the list!

Norton blocked and remove this when I downloaded it, said it was a risk.

Thanks very much Misterpaint. This looks great. May I ask what paper texture you used? It suits the watercolour very well.

Hi Stefano, always so generous - thanks

What is not clear to me is how you got Thredgeholder plugin into the AR3 UI in the first place?

Hi Stefano, always so generous - thanks

What is not clear to me is how you got Thredgeholder plugin into the AR3 UI in the first place?

When you download, it is an .exe file. When you click on it, all you have to do is tell it where you want to place the plugin. For a PC and using AR 3 Studio Pro this would be:

My Computer, Hard Drive Letter, Program Files, Ambient Design, ArtRage Studio Pro, Resources, Filters folder

And then the .exe file will make folders for the Thredgeholder plugin with Folders for what it needs to run.

Hope this helps,
