"Bird and Floral Watercolor" Corel Painter 11 - Corel PSP Pro X3

Bird and Floral Watercolor

A fourth in my Digital Watercolor Bird series. I again used clip art from Dover Publications and resized and used the Pencil feature on in Corel PSP Pro X3. I increased the pixels to 180dpi and saved the larger file. I opened with Corel Painter 11.

In Painter I used Digital Watercolors to paint the pencil sketch. I used various brushes and sizes, but kept the colors saturated. I used the Salt brush on the background layer (set at Multiply) to add sparkle and texture to the painting.

I saved that file and re-opened in PSP and added the mat and frame using the Picture Frame feature. I saved the large file and resized for display.

I am featuring this and the others in the series on Zazzle, and Fine Art America, as posters and prints and greeting cards. Please see My Art For Sale page for the links to these.

"Watercolor Parrots" Corel Painter 11 - Corel PSP Pro X3

Watercolor Parrots

I did another digital painting of Watercolor Parrots in Corel Painter 11. I used the same techniques as yesterday. I used a Dover Publications image resized in Corel PSP Pro X3. I saved it and opened with Corel Painter 11.

I used various watercolor brushes at differing sizes and opacity. It was a large file so the painting took some time as some of the watercolor brushes were slow to respond on my older PC. I also used some Liquid Ink fine point for some outlining and the eyes. Also I toned down the area between the birds with a textured chalk brush.

I added the mat and frame in PSP again, then resized after adding my signature. I have placed both images, yesterday's and today's, as Posters on my Zazzle account (please see my Art For Sale Page for the link to my store.) And also more products which will be released within 24 hours per Zazzle's terms. When the new products post you should check them out!

The posters do not have the mat and frame as you can select real mats and frames on Zazzle as part of the purchase if you choose to.
