I love it beautiful water love the colors! Nice job!!

It makes your image more "oil painting" vs watercolor. I really like it, your style and your images always make me happy

@Naroth-Kean Have you seen these? Watercolor brush set

I really like that kitty in the boat btw!

Update the value a bit. I used two simple photoshop default tools for the water and the rest

Naroth Kean · 23 Jan 2016, 17:37

@Thrace Thank you I really had good time doing the water.
@Lynn-Larson Thanks Lynn! I'm glad they do
@gimmehummus Thanks for sharing! Kyle got amazing brushes but I got to play only with couple. For some reason his watercolor brushes run very slow on my computer T_T.

I can't believe photoshop cc brushes are very powerful.
"Mommy!"
"I am not Mommy"
"Daddy!"
"I am not Daddy"
"Who are you?"
"I'm a whale, I'll take you back to the shore"
"Meow"

@gimmehummus I love those brushes! I have the Megapack and the Watercolour set so far. I haven't even begun to explore all of them..
@Naroth-Kean I assumed that you did use some combination of Kyle's brushes since your digital watercolours are so convincing! For what it's worth, when I first got the watercolour set they ran really slow. I was using a 2008 pen/tablet, then when I upgraded the slowness disappeared. Some of them still run a bit slow but it's much more manageable now.

@Dulcie the only tool from Kyle I use is his one blending tool sadly. I use my own brushes and texture to create the watercolor effect I have been creating. I need to upgrade my mac it's really old.

Lydia M · 24 Jan 2016, 22:23

I had the same lag problem with all his brushes when I used my old Intuos III tablet. Then I got a Cintiq and the problem stopped. @Dulcie I have the megapack, dry media and spatter. I want to hug Kyle for all of them.

Love this image and the sense of story it has

Naroth Kean · 25 Jan 2016, 23:13

@gimmehummus I guess I will need to upgrade as well!
@shinjifujioka Thank you Shinji, glad you like it.

Has a nice traditional feel to it. Thanks for sharing.

Naroth Kean · 28 Jan 2016, 09:09

This time I combine it with my watercolor brush and the result is pretty interesting.

Lynn Larson · 28 Jan 2016, 13:01

@Naroth-Kean Love this! Holy cow, talk about a jawdrop!

Thrace · 28 Jan 2016, 15:20

@Naroth-Kean It is really beautiful, Naroth!! Looks like this may be a new look for you!!

Naroth Kean · 29 Jan 2016, 01:46

@Lynn-Larson @Thrace thanks guys!
added more detail and up the tree value a bit and leaves for wind effect.

Gone fishing! Went for oil pastel look

Naroth Kean · 31 Jan 2016, 03:10

Maybe I should try one of this two techniques for Feb 3rd Thursday. I actually really like the pastel look.

Thrace · 31 Jan 2016, 04:13
