Watercolor bleed effect

[Someonesane]

Okay, here is the tutorial: VIDEO

Sorry it took so long. I really wanted to wait to do it (for reasons I can't really go into detail about), but since I've been asked about it a lot lately, I decided I couldn't really put it off anymore. Hopefully I explained it well enough. Here's the image I used as an example in the video (click for larger version):

Thank you someonesane. I paint in real media watercolours but have never been able to come to terms with the digital watercolour tool in Artrage, which was a big disappointment because I was so looking forward to the new tool when the latest version came out.

I will study your excellent video to learn the techniques you have shown.

I really appreciate your generosity and thoughtfulness in taking the time to show the way

Nice tut SOS. Imported a couple of textures. Had a play around with canvas and brush settings which gave some weird and wonderful results.

No problem shechat . I find that it's best to not overwork the paint to much, and to use a high amount of thinners (at least for the style I use). In the video, I used a heavy amount of color, so that it would be clear enough to see, but I tend to just do layers of thinned paint, adding textures where needed, until I get a result I'm happy with.

Thanks Chuckart . Yeah, it's fun testing out the various styles one can manage, by using different textures. Small changes in the Roughness option of the layer texture, can go a long way in adding different effects to a grain.

Thank you a lot, someonesane, this is a wonderful tut i needed to see. I will now work more often in wc, it just looks so easy and results looks so pretty. Thanks a lot once more.

You should get some weird and wonderful WC stuff going with these. Just play around with Roughness and Grain.
