Once happy with the digital composition, I recreated it for real on the watercolour paper.

I then photographed it and uploaded the image in Procreate to experiment with digital splashes

Once happy with this, I repainted the stag in watercolour and gave it a cooler background

So I isolated the stag and dropped it into Procreate to experiment with cooler backgrounds

I painted a stag but disliked the warm, patchy background which did nothing to enhance the stag
@valdootson Procreate is a apple digital photo program. you may be able to do the same thing in krita, Gimp or photoshop. She is digitally enhancing the watercolor by using procreate. It would be nice to see this technique don in a open source software or photoshop. Procreate is not available for windows operating systems.
I think the melding of watercolor and digital technology is neat, i have noticed that some of the other teachers I have on here are using photoshop and other digital programs to enhance their work. We live in an exciting time for art with the melding of old and new techniques.

This is fantastic but I can't use Pro create. I'm not even sure what it is. What a shame!

Teacher PlusThank you @mikulda

Teacher PlusHi… Domestika have a range of Procreate courses. It’s well worth learning. @valdootson
Here’s one which teaches you the basics. But you need to use it with an iPad or iPhone. https://www.domestika.org/en/courses/1273-procreate-for-beginners-digital-illustration-101?atag=75204f&utm_medium=affiliates&utm_source=sarah_stokes_75204f

Teacher PlusYes absolutely @lcatlin39 . The same could definitely be achieved through other software. I use Procreate because it comes for free on my iPad

@lcatlin39 thanks for the info but nope, I don't know those either. Looks like I'm 100 yes behind times. Time to buck up I reckon.
valdootson
@sarah_stokes thankyou for that. I'll keep watch for just watercolour courses tho. I've got your bird course, it's beautiful.

Teacher PlusThank you. Yes I think it’s a much better balance. It always amazes me how colour temperature makes such a difference @luciacbueno1

Teacher PlusAbsolutely it’s amazing how helpful these apps are to help make decisions about composition. @lcatlin39
