ArtRage Tutorial 10 – Let’s Paint Mountains!
The past tutorials have generally dealt with how to use the program, the tools, and the settings. Hopefully by this time you have a pretty good handle on the program, so it’s time to work on actually creating some pieces.
This time around we take a look at a question posed to me via email. Can we recreate the Bob Ross method of wet on wet painting.
ArtRage Tutorial 9 – Grids Are Our Friends!
I’ve been doing theatre for almost 20 years now. And it 20 years you tend to pain a lot of drops. One of the earliest techniques of drop painting I learned was how to grid out my reference picture, whether it was a paint elevation or photograph, and transfer to a grid mapped out on the drop on the floor. Our goal in theatre is to create on stage what the designer created in renderings and models. And a grid allows us to come as close as possible to realizing the designer’s idea.
And ArtRage allows us to do that same exercise within the program itself.
