Valeu!! 🥰

Thank you! 😁

Muito obrigado!

Thank you so much!

Thanks! 😁

Yes! hahaha, i love to create new brushes, sometimes i find good ones in this process. Thank you! ❤

Hello Adam! I checked here and this painting,took 2h. Yes i use reference ALL the time! Its really important to use, unless you have a photo memory haha

@@DougMurakamiArt Thanks very much for replying and answering. Actually, it's often a relief to hear that artists I respect use reference. For some reason, I wrongly believe that we should be painting from memory, or even imagination. But when I reflect on it, this belief is very unhelpful and a real hinderance to my progress. So thank you for your answer. Best wishes to you.

Awesome! I wish all the best in your new journey, if you need anything just tell me!

Thank you Robert! I will experiment more these techniques! 😊

Last night, before going to bed (LOL!), I revisited our conversation with some deeper reflection. In traditional painting, when preparing the canvas, we typically blend Yellow Ochre or another neutral hue with Titanium White to create varied tones on the canvas. This technique results in a canvas exhibiting a range of tones, from light to dark Yellow Ochre. While it's convenient to use Rebelle's Canvas Color button to fill the canvas with a single color, this doesn't accurately replicate the process in real-life painting. Henceforth, I've decided to abandon this practice. Instead, I'll apply a flat layer of my chosen toning color using a flat paint (perhaps spray paint), followed by blending to achieve a smoother texture. Throughout the painting process, I'll introduce white in lighter areas to adjust the value and retain more Yellow Ochre in darker regions. This may aid us in getting a more traditional look that is missing when we paint in digital. Watch this video by Malcom Dewey where he explains the toning process in depth: "How to Tone Your Painting Canvas (Colors and Effects)" Happy Painting!

Thanks Robert for the tips!! Yes that dark spots!! hahaha so annoying! I do blender sometimes, but with the same brush that i'm using, so it's valid! Good point about the colors of papers, i didn't know anything about that! Now that you mentioned i saw some artists making it indeed. I will try next time! Thanks Robert! 🥰

I recently shared my newest painting on the Rebelle Forum gallery, featuring a purple-toned canvas. The concept behind this choice is to sometimes use a toned canvas that complements the dominant color in the painting. One of my personal favorite pieces depicts a mountain forest/hillside scene, predominantly in various shades of green, for which I opted for a deeply red-toned canvas. This intentional toning allows subtle hints of the canvas to peek through, contributing to a sense of unity throughout the painting. Additionally, it assists in achieving accurate values. I am so glad I could contribute this time! Another YT "Master" artist to watch is Vladimir Volegov. You will gain a lot of knowledge from him if you watch him paint. He almost always tones his canvas. He is a true Master that has been painting in oils since he was a kid. Funny thing is... My latest Van Gogh "real-life oil paints" painting that I am working on, I did "not" tone the canvas at all. No Gouache or acrylic paint was used. Straight canvas. Oil paint right on top of canvas. Van Gogh did not prep the canvas at all on his "Wheat Field/Cypress" painting. It took me a while to figure that out, but if you look at the painting up close you can see the un-prepped canvas. Impasto all the way FTW!!!

@@RobertHopkinsArt You re so smart Robert, it's matter of time for you to get close to these masters, you know all the techniques. I wish you all the best!

Thanks, Buddy! I started in digital, which I love the most, but real-life painting can be very rewarding. And discouraging too. It's so difficult. You got this down!

Try it too! You will learn so much doing this! 😁

Thanks Robert!❤️❤️❤️

Thank you!! 🥰

Hah, if you didn't tell me the paper, I wouldn't know what I was using, i liked these ones, the textures are nice, I wanted to try other papers too, tbh I didn't know that rebelle had so many papers...But overall the canvas are what I like more, it feels more natural...but yeah i need to test these overlapping papers, I just like to keep it simple.

The default canvas is so-so, and I agree that maybe these updated canvases will react more like the real-deal. I will pick up some of them later. I'm going through a phase right now of just using the "simple" non-texture (with different colors toning) and adding the brush stroke textures after I'm done with the painting on a multiple or linear burn layer. In my latest painting I'm using a brush that I created from ArtRage called the Square Canvas 2 brush. It's basically a canvas "grain/lens" with a sold square background. Tweaked it has wonderful blending properties, but sometimes the grain of the canvas in the brush shows through. Since you have those wonderful canvas swatches now you should make a couple brushes using those wonderful textures as the grain. Daniel Ibanez turned me onto that brush in ArtRage, then applying an oil brush on top in a second pass is wonderful! Thanks for sharing all of your info like you do, Doug. You are a true gentleman!

PS: I'm working on my skill levels before I make any videos. I'm not there yet, but I am progressing.

@@RobertHopkinsArtJust post it, don't worry now. I think that once you start posting videos to more ppl to watch, here or another social media, you get more motivaded and the skill level will increase higher and faster. So if you know how to record, do it. And it's great that you can rewatch later, to not only see the improvement after months and years, but it can bring memories of the time too,

Here's the rewrite: Doug, you're totally on point! I know I've been waiting to hit record, but I feel ready now as an artist. I finally have a message to share online and help others. To keep things simple, I'll be using Quicktime and iMovie on my Mac for video production. Your English is fantastic! Keep at it. Talking in your videos can definitely boost your subscriber count, just like it did for Victor Staris. He's another incredible artist on UA-cam who shares insightful wisdom. I love learning from his channel. Feeling a little camera shy? Here's an idea: Try slowing down your videos slightly. Write a script in Portuguese of what you want to say, then translate it with Google Translate. After that, use the "rewrite:" command with ChatGPT to refine the English. This translated script can be your voiceover for the video. **In the long run, this consistent practice will significantly improve your English fluency. You're already really close! Keep creating the awesome content, Doug!

Thanks Morty! 😊

Thanks!

Thanks Robert!

I will check it out! Thanks!

Photoshop and Rebelle 👍

Thanks!! 😁

Yeaaaa but they should eat the strawberry haha

I hope in part 2 they eat the strawberry 🤩

Hahaha That's right! For a instant i thought to adjust the horizon too, but i did let this way just for charm 😆..

Cool painting. Good job, Mate!

Rebelle have almost everything that Photoshop has but it's hidden.. I just wanted that they add a shortcuts of alt + click on layer to add clipping mask.. rather than right click on layer to add.. but if you saw the video, i show a bug hahaha.. you can't merge all the layers with clipping mask at once, you need to merge every clip first then you can merge everything ... But Thanks 😆

Small price to pay to have to merge each clipping mask, one at a time. It's a lot easier than having to try and do the work on the original layer. :) Since you are posting such great video's on YT, get a relationship going with the people at Escape Motions and tell them what you want. They'll do it! I agree it should have it's on shortcut. You're doing a great job. Keep up the great work! 👍

FYI: Have a look at the artwork by Carlos Herrera posted on the Rebelle Forum Gallery. He does some really fine landscapes too! Very painterly and great expression.

Carlos Herrera's UA-cam channel is: Fun2Paint. It's been a while since he posted, and he was only using Procreate then, but his videos do have some great insights. Learning is power!

Thank you! 😄 To change to Dark Mode, go to Top Menu - Edit - Preferences - General Tab - Interface - Check Dark - Click Ok. 👍

Hahaha you re a true fan boy, and it's all good, don't need to worry about that! For me personally, i like to try the colors by eye, without to import the colors into the program, you can learn so much doing this, even if is not perfectly the same color.. because you can experiment new colors later. But it's me. The brush strokes i need to get better in Rebelle, my biggest complain is the fact the max brush is 700 only, it's so small on a big canvas, i need to make 100 strokes rather than 2-3 if it had big brushes like Photoshop, very annoying..Idk but some brushes don't scale as big as others, so you can have 700 size but the real size is 300 or so... it's like the limit. The beauty about internet today, you can choose the best artists and pick what you like and incorporate that in your own work style.

Good that we got that out of the way. The FanBoi bit. :) I have started her technique. I am messing around with the Flat Soft Pastel. I set my canvas size to 8" x 10" (20.32cm x 25.4cm) and the brush size at its maximum is about the size of a real pastel. I watched her video and she is mostly using the pastel in a horizontal direction (90°, "set" rotation), mostly. Sometimes it is about a 20° right-handed tilt off of axis from being a horizontal brush. I may set the angle of the brush using my LoupeDeck rotary knob so I can change the angle of the brush from a "set" value of 90° to anything I like real-time (110°+/-). The default blender works just fine for blending the base stage of the painting. Like she does using water pipe insulation to blend with. I am also considering getting some of the Rebelle "paid" papers that emulate real pastel paper better than the default one does. The RH05 Rough default canvas is close to the real-deal but not as grainy as real papers are. I have a bunch of real paper in a closet somewhere. Happy painting, Dude. Have a good day!
