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

          Update the value a bit. I used two simple photoshop default tools for the water and the rest Untitled-1.jpg cat-finding-love.jpg

            @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.

                    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.

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

                                      Maybe I should try one of this two techniques for Feb 3rd Thursday. I actually really like the pastel look. Saving-a-blue-bird.jpg

                                            This is Kyle's Watercolor brushes set. I think his brushes create very soft watercolor feel while my method creates thicker paint. Interesting, might integrate some of his brushes with mine in later project. Brushes were used: Kyle's realwatercolor - Wamazing soft 175 , Kyle's rewatercolor - Wamazingl Wax Resist, and Kyle's realwatercolor - Wamazing 80 Multiply.Kyle-brushes.jpg
