Digital Oil Painting in Procreate: Realistic Orchids

1. Intro: Hi there. Welcome to this detail Oil Painting Class. I might have fake an artist with over a decade of experience in both legal and Traditional Mediums. In today's lesson, I'm delighted to share with you how to create these beautiful Orchid painting. I'll walk you through that preparation of your Canvas. That sketch plane down the base colors in detail. And of course, how to achieve the Oil Painting effect. For this class, you'll need an iPad, the Procreate app, and then Apple Pencil. Apart from those own materials for this class, are included, such as some of my custom Oil Painting brushes for my own set and Album. We several Orchid photos. And again to let canvas effect. This class is same. At intermediate levels are some basic drawing and color theory skills are required. But I do really encourage everyone to join us. You'll be surprised of how doable this Oil Painting effect is. So with that being said, let's go and start our painting. 2. Creating a Canvas: Hi everyone and welcome to this class. Today we're going to start painting some Orchids in a Digital Oil Painting style. Already created a canvas with these measurements. But if you want to create one yourself, Here's how you can do it. Press on this plus icon and then on here. So the measurements I chose for mine are 44, 30 by 6,000. So let's go back to proceed. That icon in here. Insert the measurements, which by the way, there in pixels. And you can change that in here. As far as the DPI, we're going to go with 300. And you can also name your canvas in here. Since I had already made my canvas, I'm just going to go back to my gallery and select that one. 3. Downloads: Okay, so now for the class materials, they can be found under this class in the Resources tab, simply click on the filename and then you should be able to find them under downloads in the file app. This is how my app looks like. So for this class, I've included a photo album with lots of Orchid photos I took. So you can't really choose the one that you like best. I'm going to choose this one, which is called the main reference. So make sure to save that one if you want to follow along. If you really want to dive into details, you can use this one too. You can really see of these gutters and spots from up-close. So now you're going to want to save the images you'll be using by clicking on this icon. Click on Save Image, and they will be stored in your camera. Roll. Repeat the same steps for the rest of them. Now, let's go back to Procreate. Now we're back. Let's add our image as a Reference. Click on the tool icon. Under Canvas, toggle the reference option. Now click on image and importing yours from the camera roll. Now we can see our image in app alongside with our canvas. Move it around, or resize your image like so. So go ahead and rearrange your workspace to your liking. Now let's go back to the file SAP to import our brush set. Find the file, which is this one that ends in brush set. And yes, click on it. Procreate should have been write-up. Now you should be able to see us it at the top of your brush library, like so 4. 04 Sketching: Let's now start with our sketch. I'm going to be using that texture Oil brush. Make sure you have a blank layer. We can start off by marking this stem that translates to a straight line. So now for the flowers, I'm going to quickly place them as ovals like so. I can see where to place each one of them. And let's add another one right here. Then we have this curved stem for which we'll follow these movement. Just like so. Now for the flowers in the background. So we have one here. And don't forget these other stem. Let's add this. But unless continue with a flowers, buds on the background. So as you can see, I now have a general idea of where to place each item just by using ovals and lines. This way, It's also much easier to Greg the placement of things. So go ahead and give it a try. Once you're happy with how everything looks like, we can start and add some details. Let's begin with the pedals. Notice the general shapes like in here, which kinda looks like a teardrop. Mark the center. We can actually use the shape of our overall for this one, you still mark the edge of our petal. Now it's all starting to date shape. Since we are going to color everything in. Yes, Mark the general shapes. Don't worry too much about the details. Now, it's finally time to add our coloring layer 5. Creating a Palette: Let's now add our coloring layer. And then click on the color circle, because I'm going to show you how to create a palette using your reference image. Start by clicking this plus icon, which can be found under the palette section. We're going to go with new firm photos. Select the photo you're working on. Scroll upwards and you should now see your new palette 6. Base Colors Pt.1: I'm going to start by coloring the petals, sunlight tissues, one of these pinks. I think this one will be fine. So make sure that you're on a new layer and then increase the brush size to your liking. So I think I'm gonna go with a paint streak brush for this part. Start by lining the pedals and then color everything in. This is where you can start to refine some of the shapes. Now that we're approaching the darker areas, Let's go unchanged colors. This will also help us to create the separation in-between these petals. Let's go with this one. And I'll place it wherever I see that darkest shadows. At this step. I'll try not to get lost into too much detail as we were just placing our base colors. So let's say we wanted to go back to the seller color, but RNA, remember which one was it? We can either select it from the history or lump breast on our Canvas to activate the color picker. Now, Yes, drag it around to select the color you want to choose from. An LDS, keep adding more of these lighter pink in the lighter areas. One deep foreseen the base Colors of an area is squinting your eyes and focusing on that spot. You can also try and look at your reference image from afar. That will help to. I think that one might be done for now. Now for the next one. Something I haven't mentioned yet is a, you can also color drop Lysol, unadjusted dress whole by drawing your pen site-to-site. Here, I'm going to use a medium pink to bring this pedal to the back. And really fine some of the shapes. Now I'm going to add the rest of the shallows. Things are now starting to take shape, don't you think? So before we go any further, I want to turn my background. I'm going to pick that color from my image and place it in a new layer right below my sketch. Drag that color to fill the whole page. And that's it. Now let's add a new layer and start placing the color of our stamps. So as I said, you can be the color from the image or choose one from the Palette. Actually, I think these might work rate. And let's play this layer on the tobacco for flowers. On the same goes for this step. I'm going to paint the darker areas first and then add some lighter hues. Time to change colors to a lighter one. Let's go with this one. I'm going to place it here, for example. Now for an even lighter shade, that one seems a bit too light for that area. So I'm just going to slowly drag it down to a darker hue. This way, we've created dimension with basically, yes, three colors. Darker, one for the shallows, a meeting, one for the median tones, and a lighter one for the brightest areas. This trigger rule is great for quickly laying down the base colors of our painting. Now I'm going to go with this color. Let's continue with our petals. I think that color might be too light. So I'm just going to go to my desk and drag it to a more desaturated version. That way, you'll get a sense of death because colors that have more saturation tend to pop more to the front, as opposed to the saturated colors that blend better with a background. So it's okay if you go over the stem because we can fix that later on. To use our eraser with the same brush we were using, simply lung, prostate, and it will automatically change. Now we can use it to erase a part that went over the stem. An earthquake for nailing the shapes is guy in yourself with a blank spaces. Like I can tell that here, I might have to go wider on that pedal. So focus on those flank areas and look at the forms. I'll Y then this part to me is going to pick that color up. At those bits. Change your brush size as needed. Now I'm going to choose this lighter pink for the lighter values. And as I said before, you can create the shapes as you go. Liking here. That's the my IQ of the Dell Painting. So again, just be the color and refined shapes. So for this part, we're going to use a lighter pink. So let's pick one of these. Actually that might be too light. So let's just drag our color to a darker one on the disk, or start by picking a different one, Andrei to a lighter shade. So let's take a look at this shape. You can practice your stroke by moving your pen in the year. And yes, repeat that same movement on your actual Canvas. I'm going to add that with more in here. And it's important to look at our Painting from afar every once in awhile. I'm going to keep that in the shapes of these petals. Do the outline, and drag that color. Then we're going to bury my colors for the flowers in the background, for more desaturated ones used to make those to really bump into Front 7. Correcting mistakes: Actually, now I'm looking at these from afar. I can see that I'm missing some space right here. So I'm going to show you how to fix that. First, select your layers by doing this motion. And then pressing here. You will now be able to resize the whole thing, sunlight to make it a bit smaller. It's important that you select this uniform option. Your drawing doesn't get distorted when resizing it. I think that looks a bit more accurate. Now we have more space. I'm going to select my sketch layer and correct those areas. 8. Base colors Pt.2: Now we've fixed our composition. Let's complete our butts. I'm going to use the same color. So let's start with the outline and color drop it. Now repeat that same steps. Remember to keep each element on their own layer. One way to make it less confusing. Every naming your layers like so. And I meant to say stem. I don't know why I wrote binds, so just ignore them. Here to my keyword was just in Spanish. So sorry about that. But you get the idea. Yes, label layers as you will. So something I haven't mentioned yet is to make sure you fully close every inch of your outline before color dropping. Because if you don't, the color will spill and sometimes it won't be faced by adjusting the dress hold. Us have to go back, go over any blank spaces in your outline, and try again. Let's now add some darker hues. And I'll keep, are we finding shapes as I go? Really? I'll just continue with those same steps for the rest of the painting. Another thing is that you can also activate the color picker by clicking on this blank square. I'll redefine some of the highlights now. I'm going to insert already shown right here, used to add that pop of color. Now that that's done, let's clean this part. Let's add these shadows I was missing. So let's go ahead and grab a medium tone and just paint that on. Channels like these will really help give a sense of realism. And F, I'm going to use that same color to add some darker areas on this flower. I'm also missing the stem that holds stays flower. Let's add that one on its own layer. And silly me forgot to erase the part of the flower so that I can see when I'm painting. So let's go to our flower layer. Really easy opacity with this slider. I knew race, who are the stem goals. And now we can get everything back to normal. Again, I'll use keep on picking colors I already used for my Canvas. Correct. And filling the areas that needed. Now let's see your Painting from afar. Since we already have most of her Painting plans out, we can go ahead and deactivate. Our sketch layer. Looks much cleaner right? Now let's go ahead and do the Oil Painting effect. 9. Canvas effect: Now let's do an essential part of the delta Oil Painting, the canvas effect. Let's go to our files app and click on these paper image. As you can see, this photo has a high texture which will blend seamlessly with our Painting, making it look just like if it was painted on top of this Canvas. You'll see, go ahead and save the image to your camera roll. Now let's go back to Procreate. Click on the tool icon, and then click on Add, then on Insert a photo and choose the paper image. In here, we can adjust the placement. So make sure you have the uniform option setup, right? They, they image to 45 degrees and click on Fit to Canvas. And then with a free form option, expanded sites until it fits the whole Canvas. Now let's go through our layers and duplicate that one. The activated. And let's click on the N. For this one, we want to find that multiply effect. So you scroll upwards and then reduce the opacity to your liking. So now for the other paper image, do their thing. But for this one, apply the overlay effect. As you can see, this effect will brighten your canvas while the other dark and seed. You can play around with a layer order. It's up to you, whatever you choose. The thing goes for the opacity amount. This is just what works for me. It will somethings vary depending on the artwork. If we zoom in, we can see this gorgeous canvas effect that really adds that painterly quality to our artwork. Don't you think? Now it looks like we're ready to add the details 10. Broad Orchid Details: Now I'm going to paint this flower along with you, so you can see the whole old painting process. Let's start by going into our layers and select the flower one. For a rush. We're going to use that Textured Oil. I'm going to zoom in on my reference so that we can really see the details, especially this part that we haven't quite defined. Okay, So let's place this yellow part, unlike the sample that color. So if we draw a straight line, you can see that it is kind of in the middle of this point. So I'm going to use that as a guide and place our yellow. I really love this brush as it helps planned everything nicely. So at this point, something we can tweak to is the opacity of fur texture images. I think I'm going to decrease the opacity a bit, as in 1D effect to be too strong. This is totally up to you though. With that said, Let's take a look from afar. And I like what I'm seeing. So let's leave it like that. Now let's go back to completing our Orchid. I'm going to reshape this petal right here. Yes, trim it down a bit. But first, the main might say mistakes and make sure that you're in the correct layer. So now let's erase this area that these darker hue. So this is why I love this brush. It really helps give such a natural Painting effect. And words refresher. Since D, D. Now we can go ahead and add a wider variety of colors. As you can see, we have a really intense bright pink in here. So let's try this one. The crystal size a bit. And then maybe too close to her base. So let's try another color that's more like what I've been looking for. I'm just going to add this bright pink wherever I see those more saturated areas. Colors vary in appearance depending on which other color there next to. So it's important to make small swatches to see if that one will work. Now I'll add one that's closer to our Base. Now one will really help with a blending. See how the colors get mixed nicely. For the shadows. I'll use dark in that color. We're going to start with this area. With this brush. The more you tap, the more sharps the color will be. That's why I'm lifting my pen in-between strokes on the darker areas. These are the shallows we're trying to achieve. It's important to take a closer look at their shape. And I think we can even go darker. So let's drag that color a bit more. Now let's increase our brush size to add these lines. So again, I'm lifting my pen and tapping again in the areas I one more color. It's a very subtle brush, but the worst wonders for our Realistic stroke. Let's also add these brighter pink through here. Use a finer tip to achieve more of that linear texture. This rash really helps, not worrying too much. I will using colors that blend. He just worked with what's already there. Now for this darker area, Let's use this color wheel ray half on her palette. And just added here. We can sue mean if we want, we get a closer look. Not some work through here. Now for this male part, Let's go with red. And yes, blended in with the existing peak. Like so. It's important for this Oil Painting effect that we get rid of these hard edges. Which to me just makes everything look to the tail. And we can use that same pastel red for this. I'm now going to use our Base pink to blend everything a bit more. Now we can add some of these texture right here, which kind of looks like Banes. That color looks a bit too red. So let's change it for a more purple one. Now that some bright pink too. Yeah, that works. Now that that's done, let's go back to this area. I'll start by erasing this blank space. So let's put it through here. You've got, I got yourself with what's already on your canvas. And I'm going to redefine this curve. If you use your imagination, this area looks like a heart. So let's follow that shape. This is a trick I can solely use in my shapes that resembled my subject to help me place everything together and blend these hard edges. Just by grabbing colors I already have on my Canvas. Let's add these triangular shapes now. Menial area looks a bit more purple. So let's correct that. I'm using my palette to guide myself where to start. From there. I just triggered a color a bit. Try it on. And if it isn't quite right, I'll just change it until I find one I'm happy with. I'm not gonna lie. Painting in the style takes time, especially if you're Fund in reality Zoom. But it will all be worth it in the end I Burmese. So now I'll add these inner folds as well as some details. Here. I'm lifting my pencil and dabbing, dabbing. The paint doesn't blend and I get a more intense result. And I'll do the same on the other side. Now, we have adjusted that shallow. I can tell that the petal, my needs some searching. So I'll sample that color and also lightened eat of it. Now I'll just expand this side of the petal. Let's put those highlights back. It's all started to look more painterly. Don't you think? Let's add these highlights. Unmarked the surrounding channels. By the way, let me know if you've referred to see everything in real time like this or not. I know places shallow right here. And again, I'll yes. Stepped up to up more paint and drag my pencil to blend If you look closely, there's a more saturated pink going on in here. So let's change to that color. And let's accentuate those highlights a bit more. We went to send this part of the barrel to Lubbock. Add a more desaturated pink. Just like in the photo. You can also use this circular motion to blend whatever works best for you. Really focus on getting rid of these sharp edges. I really like how everything is starting to look. The texture. Yes, that's richness to the Painting than you think. None. Let's complete this bottom area. I'm going to start by placing that bright red. Let's start with a small brush. And dry are color. That one seems okay. So I'll just stick to it for now. And now I'll use a darker shade to contour that bright red. We just placed somewhere detail wherever I see that same color. And I'm missing this white part. So let's stop that up to put more Gardner and lightly drag to blend. Now let's go back on completing that yellow area. And if I mess up my color choice, either really erase it, I prefer to just put another color on top. That's what happens when painting with real Oil Painting. So anyways, I think that colors end up blending together and that just adds to create a richer variety. Now let's define this little curve right here. At this bright highlight. And now you sees that same color for this area. If I mess up, I just sample this other color and use it like an eraser. Now I'll add a more saturated red in here just to make things pop. And then even brighter red for this part. Bury your brush size to make things easier depending on the area you're working with. Now, I think I'll go I'm brighten up that yellow. That looks better. Let's darken that B2. Let's really find this, but let's also add some more highlights. If we zoom out, we can tell that things are starting to look more realistic. Well, if we take a closer look, we still have that painterly quality. Every once in awhile, I'd like to stop and take a little break just to have a first look when I come back and that way a rapidly notice what needs to be changed. This is how I realized that this petal is at that bigger sunlight to modify that. And I'll just use that base color to extend that area. And of course, Let's add those shadows back. I'm blend those edges. Again. I like to zoom out to get a better overlook. And I'm missing some white drew here. Change your brush size as needed. Let's not forget to blend. I'm also going to blend this edge because right now it just looks too harsh. I'll add some of the finishing dashes, like this part, which is more reddish. And finally, let's blend this side a bit more. And that's it for this part. Let's now go on at summer Details 11. Finer Orchid Details: Now for the details, basically, we're now going to focus on adding all of these dots. For this part, I'm going to be using the row Oil brush. Now, I recommend adding a layer on top. Yes, all have colors don't blend together and the details pop a bit more. So let's begin with this part. And as I said, I'm using the rural Oil brush. I'm starting with a lower opacity underbrush on the thinner side. Let's begin with some white. I recommend to try out your brush and see what needs to be modified. Now I'm slowly going to build all of these textures. So I'm not going to paint every single detail exactly SIC it because we wanted our, our word to have some soul and be unique in its own way. So even though I'm following a general idea, I also try and make it my own. This is why I like working in another layer. If you missed up, you can just erase. Without worries. You can always go back in-between layers if there's something you need to change. I'm just going to briefly speed things up because I was having a tough time blend in this part. All because I just didn't realize I wasn't in the correct layer. So always check yours. Now for this area, I'm going to leave my pen tool and tap multiple times to create these dots. Did is degree their gradient. So we're going to concentrate them more on the edge and disperse them as we go and bury the shades so that it looks more natural. Let's also add them on this edge. I'm going to change my color because that one is barely noticeable. Cl tapping makes for an interesting texture. And I'll use that same effect for accentuating the highlights. Were these see opacity for a more seamless blend. And if you're big on blending, you can also use this icon to long press it to change to your current brush. With this tool, we can soften some of our marks. And I'll keep on tapping and tapping where I need to. This brush has pressure sensitivity, which in this case means that if you press harder, you'll get a bigger stroke. While if you press lighter, you'll get a smaller one. So use that to your advantage. Let's change our color. Now let's add these darker dots. I'm going to increase the opacity for those. Perfect. That was the result I was looking for. I think we can make you do with a lighter color and the background for this part. That way, will this have to add that darker dots? So let's go back to the flower layer. And I'm using that same brush. I'm just going to play some white strokes like so And a darker pink here for the shadows. Now let's go back to the detail layer and select that darker color. Perfect thing. We can even go a bit darker. It's much easier to paint these dots like this rather than if we were to paint the background around them. So remember, always work smarter, not harder. Let's just keep on dotting. I love to see how everything is slowly coming to life. See you've seen that wider base made things much easier. I really think that in this many details just makes a difference. Or this part, we're going to go lighter and even lighter now, to emphasize that gradient effect, we can reduce the opacity and increase the size a bit. I'm gonna go faster now, but you get the general idea. And we're slowly as she mean that gradient. Erase any mistakes along the way. Let's go over those whites to really make them pop. Let's now add some software dots through here. At this many as you like. But remember to keep changing colors. It'll look too monotonous otherwise. And also change your opacity is in-between if needed. Now for this color, follow those lines right here. Let's redefine this shape. We're almost done. So keep hanging on. And we're done with this one. Did you like the results? 12. Bonus Layer Tip: Now for bonus tip, there's something I like to do with a details that I like to show you. Keep in mind, it sometimes works better than others depending on your painting. But I'll show you anyways. Yes, so that you have it as a Reference. Drag the detail layer on top of one of the textures. See how everything just pop right to the front. As opposed to this. Let's see that again. This is a quick tip you can apply to make the details look more like if they were up in the front. You can even try to put that layer right on top so that no texture goes through there. And therefore, we create the illusion of Thicker paint. So just try it out and decide if you like this effect or not. If you do decide them which order to keep it. I think I'm leaving mine on top. Okay. I've made up my mind. I'm going to put it on top. And now we're finally done with this Orchid. I'll show you how we make that Buds 13. Painting Buds: So now for our butts, Let's go back to our flower layer and add somewhere corners. You can either use the color picker or I think I'm going to use this one from Mark bullet. And I'm going to go back and use that texture Oil brush. Change the brush size as needed. Let's start with the stroke. You want to really define those shapes. And I can see a blurry part right here. So I'm going to try and mimic that. I'll use a blending brush. Books that might be a week-to-week. So let's use a smaller brush. And maybe you see eraser to analyse. Keep on blending. Let's redefine our shapes. I know we can go with a darker color. I'm gonna tweak my opacity and brush size. I'm going for a more transfer in purple. Kind of like how we will do glazing on an Oil Painting. And let's put some more true here. Check from afar. We can even go a bit darker here. Now let's add the highlights. Not convinced by this color, so let's change it. But first, I'll redefine this bottom Area. Am play some of these other lines. The correct my shapes as I go. Just like in New York, eat slowly, keep on adding more details. Pick the color to fill in those missing areas. We can place some are lighter colors. Now, let's add those highlights. Thing we can even go a bit lighter. Just mark where ever you see the lighter areas. I'm happy we have this is looking. But I think I'm missing some pink. So I'll just choose this bright pink. The Christi of basicity. An app like, kind of like a wash of color, just like we did before with a purple. Think that looks better now Let's place some of those darker purples again and gradually increase a bit of the opacity. Let's take a look from afar. And I'm not convinced by this border. So blend the edges a bit more and add some more of these green in its own layer. Looks alright. And I'm going to emphasize those highlights a bit more. And let's change to the row Oil brush and erase those previous strokes. That looks better. So if you feel stuck at some point, try and change brushes because that might help. Let's also add some dimension to this stem. And use some darker colors at the bottom. Just to add that sense of deaf. I'll do the same in this green area. I'll add a darker green one that blends in-between. Also mean to get a better look. And you can also undo by tapping on your screen with two fingers. I just realized I painted this stem in the flower layer. So click here. And let's fix that by using their freehand option in the selection tool. Here, you just outlined your stem and close your selection by tapping on the white. Just like that. Then drag three fingers down your screen and select that cut and paste option. Now you should see that on a separate layer. So just drag it to wherever it should be and merger layers together. And that's it. That way, we're still going to keep everything organized 14. Middle Back Orchid: Okay, so now we're going to go through the next segment a bit faster. Since we already went through the basics. I'll start by checking that we're in the correct layer. Choose one of the color from the Palette and modify if needed. Dry your brush. And I'm going to change mine to the Textured Oil. Start by marking the shallows and then create separation through the highlights. I'm going to blend this area with her Base Color by slowly going from my lighter to the medium pink. And continue with a flower in the background. Modify my shapes as I go. Let's continue to work on those shadows, slowly building them up. Once we're happy with the results, we can add the medium hues that will help us integrate everything better. I really love using this brush for this, it blends seamlessly. I'm also going to add some of these Details. And let's go with a brighter pink while also lowering my opacity used to add a bit of saturation. Let's the bend some of these channels. I'm going to add a new layer for this part of the stem, because her flower layer is currently Blocking it at some more darker channels here. And extend that show on the green stem while also marking some of the edges. Good thing about being in a complete different Layer is that we want effect our flowers while also create more of a separation for the stem. Time to take a break and look at things from afar. Okay, so I'm going to change my brush to the blender one, which is colorless and blend the edges of my flower. This will help tie everything together. Now let's continue with the petals. Let's try the row Oil brush. Check that we're on the flower layer. And I'm not fully convinced. So I'm just going to use the texture Oil which blends better in my opinion. Let's widen that projected shallow and darken the rest at some of the lighter lines here. And I'm going to do everything on a new layer to create separation enough Thicker paint illusion. Really work on those details and refined the shallows. Now for the highlights, see how having this on a separate layer mesa paint look like it fits on top of the canvas. Now I'm gonna give a wash of color with a more vibrant Q and a lower opacity. Just like a glaze Oil Painting. Let's see how that look from afar. And I'm happy with the outcome. I'm just going to add some of those linear textures on the petals. I'll use the blender brush to soften some of those edges. And then go back to the texture Oil. Let's take a look from afar and keep working on her stem. I'm gonna go to the latest stem layer we created and paint there. Let's widen this part. And now I'm going to drag my stem layer below the flower one. Click on a flower layer, I'll reduce its opacity. Now I can erase where my stem should be. The flower layer won't cover it. With that done, go back to the flower layer and get the opacity back to 100. Let's erase here and there. And now I'm going to merge that stem layer will remain one. Go back to my flower layer and use the blending tool to smudge some of the edges we just raised. And I'm gonna do the same in this area. Erase and blend. Correct some of my colors. An array somewhere stem, as well as blending the edges. Now I'm going to change the color of these Area to a warmer pink. Let's deepen the shadows who run into stem. And let's head over to that top area. 15. Top Back Orchid: Looking at this from afar, I can see that those highlights when my Buds could be lighter. So let's go ahead and do that. This place them on our Detail layer on top of our canvas. I'm sticking with a texture brush. Let's also redefine this edge. Now, let's focus on the shape of this other flower. This pedal needs to be reshaped. So let's go to its layer and erase some of it. As I said before, in this step, I focus on the blank spaces to map out my shapes. I'm gonna clean this part by cutting it out with the selection tool, selected directory fingers down and click on cut. Let's they know this term. And this one too. Okay, so now let's work on that flower in the background. I'm going to start by placing my shelves. As you can tell, I'm going for a more desaturated color. This is to create separation from the flower on the front. Then I'll add these tiny bit of petal. I'm blend this one with a background. I'm going to use a lighter pink to define the rest of the petals. And at some orange with a lower opacity to create some worms. Blend some of those edges. And that's some of that linear texture. Let's go over some of the highlights. And that might be a bit too harsh. So I'm going to do some blending on the detail layer. This continued to work on the flower layer. I'm gonna deepen my shadows and do some smudging. Perfect. I'm also going to blend those linear highlights a bit more. Remember to always take a look from afar, at least every once in awhile. We're almost done with this one. I'm going to darken the bottom of this Tim. Unmodified that top area. Finally, let's darken the flower to bring this stem to the front. I'm using the color picker for easier access. Let's take a look from afar. And there are some minor things I like to change, like expanding this petal right here, accentuating this highlight and darkening the speed. And that's it for this one. 16. Bottom Area: For the lower part of our canvas, Let's begin reorganizing our workspace. I'm going to start painting the stem. I'll erase part of the flower that is covering my stem. For a clearer view, Let's reduce the opacity of the layer and I'll change my brush to the row Oil. Click on a flower layer and erase all overlapping areas. I'm going to work on my stem. Let's widen this part and add these meetings stem and add darker color to create a shallow. Alice blend some of those edges. If you look up close, we're missing a turquoise hue. So let's add it with a low opacity. Now, let's add that highlight. I complete the rest of our stem. Create a difference in color in between these two stems. Let's extend this other one. Now let's put the flower opacity to the max. And let's move on to our flower. Using that texture old brush as an eraser, I'm going to rise slightly reshape my petal. I'll also change my color because the one I use looks a bit too pale and fixed my shapes as I go. I'll change my pink color for this other petal and erase this remains. Let's continue to give shape to each petal. And as I said before, I'm using other things he might canvas to guide myself. For example, this petal right here is too big in relation to the stem. We're going to fix that. And this one too. For bigger areas, I used to erase with the selection tool. It truly is a time-saver. I'll give my canvas another over a look. I'll continue with this stem using the eraser to carve out this. But I also love using the selection tool to move things around. Like so. I'll erase this area as much the edges and place my highlights and smudge once again to really achieve that painterly effect. I like blending things in the back a bit more. This gives a wider sense of death. Some more highlights through here. Some turquoise. And let's add these shallow. I'll clear this part of my layer, reshape this, but I redraw this area to that size, looks better. Now I can go ahead with a details. I'll start with this highlights. I'll add some of those pinkish use. I'm back to the highlights. Here. We have some green reflecting from the stem. So let's add that. It's okay to try different colors until you find the one that works best. This will help you get a better feel of the Colors and eventually pick them out more easily at some blending on the edges. And you can also experiment with different brushes. Now I'm going to add those curved lines. It's all finally coming together. And then on the detail layer, which is the one on dopamine canvas E mesh. Other Martha highlights with a lighter color for a more painterly look. This really gives a Thicker paint illusion. How Theano this stem and add the missing Shao. Finally, I'll blend this edge 17. Bottom Orchid: Now let's work on this other flower. I'll go to my flower layer and start placing the shelves. I'll change my brush to the texture Oil to blend while coloring. See how everything just blends together more nicely. I'll try to place the color I'm using in all areas that seemed close enough. Plus this one could really use some more warmer hues. Also cut this pedal down so that it doesn't clash with the other flower. And blend this area with a lighter color. Now place some of those Byron tones, slowly building them up. I'll then gradually add some more darker tones and make some areas more vibrant to I'm going to mark a better separation between these two petals and add this missing part of the stem. Always remember to change to the correct layer. Everything is starting to come together. Let's start in this area a bit more here to see how that helps bring the stem to the back. Let's do some blending. And that's it for this part. Now let's go back to Painting this flower. I'm going to work on those darker areas. She's a size of your brush according to the area you're working on. And let's add these lines. In, densify the pinks here under. And let's add some orange to create a stronger separation between the petals and stem. And that's it for this one. 18. Middle Front Base: Now I'm going to work on this other flower. Let's start by shortening this pedal of it. Here too. I'm going to guide myself from that reference image. Now let's erase those remnants with the selection tool. Drag three fingers down, cut, and we're done. Let's now reshape their risks with the eraser. Unfeeling those missing areas. I'm gonna use a pale pink to blend the edges of the petals and then change to a darker pink if needed. Color picking really helps to situate ourselves on the color wheel. We can use the place to have an idea of where to move our color upwards for a lighter tone or downwards for a darker one. Let's continue to work on those borders. Keep in mind, I'm just using a lighter being to blend, not the blender. Correct. Any mistakes along the way with the help of the color picker? Let's deepen this shallow, slightly changed this tone. Now I'm going to add this bright magenta. Let's lighten these areas too. I feel like this really makes a difference than you. I'm gonna add more of a shallow through here. And here swell. Extend this pedal I with more uncorrect my shapes as I go. This white area is more like a triangle. Selects fix that. The brain, these shelves at this highlight, blend and move this shell to the side. Now let's add the yellow center and dark and its surroundings. Let's add this curvature. Covert this blank space. Cut this area, and add these spiky shapes. As well as this shell. Looks like we're ready to start with a finer details. 19. Middle Front Details: Let's begin extending this area. Ambler the outline with a lighter pink. Just like so. If you're willing to really, some, do not forget those tiny details. Now I'm going to really find these meal Area and add this channel as well as these lines. Then I'll use the blender brush to soften them a bit. I'll go back to the texture Oil, pick a color and add all those lighter areas where the sun hits. Let's also, and can some of those corners when we see more of a contrast here. So let's deepen this shell. This petal has more of a diagonal full, some going to change that Using the color picker. Let's extend that tiny highlight to Netscape bad in those lines. Sometimes it helps adding detail from a distance. You still see the aurora colors a bit better. So that's what I'm doing here. Let's add this shallow to. Now. Let's see now this white area. Amply so more intense colors here reshaped the center. I know that these white areas on both sides, we those in place, I can see that these bright area needs to be moved to the side. That's better now. I'll also widen this pedal. I repeat the blending, darkening some of those shadows too. Now let's focus on that yellow area. I'll place a darker yellow around to blend that bright spot. Now for this great part, Let's add all of those tiny details. And actually I'm going to color pick that area of my image. I'm focusing on the highlights now. I'm back to those tiny details. Now I'm going to add that bright red highlight and a more saturated color as a medium hue. That really makes everything pop. Now a lot more saturated border here. Let's make this edge a bit more round. I'm put some more contrast here and here to erase this tiny edge and add these tiny, tiny highlight. As well as extending this. Refining the bottom of the spiky part. I'm giving it a finer tip. Now let's add these casted shallow. If you're heading for reality Zoom, it's important to add these details. Now, some highlights. And so more refinement on those channels. Okay, I'm happy with that. Now I'll work on in densifying some of these areas. If the color doesn't work, I guess hit undo and try again. I can barely see it. So I'll just go for a more reddish hue. That's better. I'll add E to the other petal too. Now let's blend this edge or the urine canvas for a more comfortable grip. And since we're at it, also blend the wrist just very slightly. And again, I just undo and try again. If something doesn't turn out my way. Let's check our canvas. And I'm going to work on the male part. I'm going to accentuate these yellow highlight. Now let's change the color of this area. Let's intensify those highlights. Now let's blend these two colors and add this middle line. Now I'm going to work on all of those darker areas in the center. I'm back to focusing on those highlights. I'm going to blend some of these white areas with a pink Let's gradually darken this edge. Now back to Mark in those shadows. I see some orange here. So let's add that to. And let's dark in this. Let's see what else there is to be done. And I'm going to widen that meal area a bit more and thin out this line. Now I'm gonna go to my detail layer and go where my white areas so that they really send out my painting here, that canvas texture. Once you through making all of these areas bulb. Let's see how that looks. And let's do the same here. You step lender. If the edges are too harsh. I'll add these tiny cut. See how this technique helps us create a separation with our canvas. And let's lighten this edge. Now I'll do some doting on this area. And some details here to keep in mind the opacity of my brush. I'll repeat the same steps for the rest of the borders. Another thing to this really took a lot of time, but to me, the results are worth it. Now I'm going to blend the ones in like and continue the alerting along all of the flower. I'll mainly place them on the outer edges. Kind of like making a gradient. I'll do the same for the center of the petal and lower my opacity for the inward ducts. I'll repeat the same steps for this one. And now I'm going to paint some of those veins. I'll change my color to a darker one and do some blending to lower its intensity at some more through here. And now I'll play some dots with a darker color. I lower my opacity as needed. I'm very my shade depending on the area. Let's not forget about these areas. Some more highlights through here. I know we have a darker color on hand. Let's go ahead and place all of those darker dots. It's much easier to paint them over then to paint the background around them. So you gotta keep in mind these shortcuts. I really love how this one is turning out. Even though these processes time-consuming, I find it to be relaxing. Guesses because seeing the end result feels really rewarding. Now that some are lighter dots. And so more true here. Blend. And I think this one is done 20. Background: For the oldy make painterly look. Let's add some brush strokes to the background. Star by increasing your brush size to the max and color pick your background. Actually, let sample our image and things like color is barely noticeable. Let's darken it. Now. I'm just going to add some brush strokes in various directions. By the way, I've seen Using that texture Oil brush. Once we're happy with their results, we can readily go darker. You can also blend with this major and dry out different brushes. And I just realized in severity may brush strokes for my shadows. So I'm going to select this border carefully going around the shadows. And just to be sure, I'll remove this area for my selection. Select gut and paste. And now it's gonna go to a different layer. I'm gonna rename it. And this one too. Now let's get back to our paint streaks. Let's go with a lighter color. I'm just placing my strokes very freely in the directions I see fit. Let's change colors to a darker one and paint around. We can also lose some blending without worrying about disrupting or shells. Since everything is in its own layer. Now I'm going to gradually darken the corners of my background. Trying different colors and blending if needed. Playing around with different brushes. I knew in different directions on my background. I think I prefer that texture Oil for this step. Now just continue the same guidelines for the rest of the Painting. Keeping mind that I'm not completely following my reference image. Since I really want the background to wring out these Oil Painting qualities. I know that I have the overall tone of my background, which is on the warmer side. I can delete the shelves. We made our way too cool. So let's hit over to our shallow layer. Go to adjustments and select color balance. Here, we can drag through the sliders to adjust the color. If it's not changing, click here. And in my case, I'm going to select midtones. This will depend on the hue of color you're trying to change. Now, if I move my sliders, you can see how the colors in immediately change. I'm going to move mine to a warmer tone. Okay, so before we apply any changes, we can see it before and after by dabbing outside and heating on preview. Once you're happy with the results, Click here to save. Now I'm going to continue with my background. Let's add some final smudges on the paint streak Layer. And in a new layer, I'll add my signature. Let's also add some highlights to the background. Blend. Let's take a look at the before and after. Now. This is the before and after. I think it really yes, to a painterly effect. Let's now add some final details. 21. Final Adjustments: Now I'm gonna make some final adjustments to these flower. Select the flower layer, pick a color and adjust your brush. I'll be using that Textured Oil. I'm going to deepen my shadows and do some smudging. I'll also retouch some other areas and just deepen my overall Charles. These other show, these 12. I'm going to blend that white area on my stem and extend these two. Now back to my flower layer. Let's play some more saturated colors and add some of these details. Blend the edges and some of the inner brush strokes. Let's give it a wash of color with a row Oil brush. Now back to the texture Oil. I'm going to intensify this area. Annexin. Do eight, this linear texture. Some more minor adjustments. Let's add some orange through here. I'll use a real old brush with a lower opacity. Let's look at those highlights back. Now I'm going to deepen that bottom, shallow. Take a look from afar. And I'm going to smudge this area that looks a bit to linear. I went too far. So I'm going to undo, I'm drawing again with a lighter hand. This area looks to plane, so we're going to spice it up with a different queue. Let's take a look from afar. And that's something I mentioned to this, but we're gonna go from dark to light. Slowly building up Colors. Much redder. We're finally done. The, you like the results? 22. 23 Conclusion: Congrats on finishing this lesson. I hope you learned something new. So what did you enjoy the most about this class? I will love to read your thoughts.
