I think the reason this picture struck me is the fact that the tree seems to be looking for something. it leans forward as if trying to see a distant object

I love the flow and smoothness!
It reminds me of the dreamy style of the artwork from "The man who planted trees".

this is absolutely gorgeous. the colors are just fantastic and I love both the smooth and very textury coloring to this, and also the sense of movement in this is great. [:

oh yes you are the master of color you always have the most bold and beautiful colors, and they always complement the piece so beautifully This just makes me want to disappear into the piece and experience the serene and brilliant world that youve created

supersonicsound [2008-07-29 22:51:21 +0000 UTC]

Ohshit so pretty ;w; <3 I love the colours and how they fade and the brush strokes and well damn everything C':
I also find it incredibly nice to find someone else who uses Painter, we aren't so many 8D ... I seem to be the only one who finds Painter X easier to handle than Photoshop though lol D:

thundercake In reply to supersonicsound [2008-07-29 23:24:29 +0000 UTC]

I have Painter, but this is probably the first serious painting I've done in it. It's a little baffling after 11 years of Photoshop! But it is wonderful.. very natural and responsive. I was tickled pink that the brushes can pick up surrounding colors and swivel with the tilt of the pen.

lstjules [2008-07-29 13:43:33 +0000 UTC]

very nice. i like the leaves in the tree, well done. what kind of tool did you use for that?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

thundercake In reply to lstjules [2008-07-29 18:56:09 +0000 UTC]

I laid down my basic colors beforehand, then used an oil pastel brush, size 11.3, and picked up the color and dabbed it on again.. it took a while but I kind of like the effect. It is a bit messy though.

lstjules In reply to thundercake [2008-07-30 18:03:58 +0000 UTC]

ok, cool. i'm still trying to get the hang of Painter and any tips is fun to have.

chippiparai [2008-07-29 00:53:18 +0000 UTC]

this is beautiful!
i love the colors and the textures on the tree
such a whimsical atmosphere! ^^
and i really like the layout of this picture. the technique you used (blurring the bg, the placement of the tree) gives a great sense of depth

i m sorry for my horrible english...but i cannot really concentrate, it s so damn hot >_<


keep up the great work!

I love the gradient of colors and the way the brush strokes looked, it makes me think of a Safari or something of the like. It looks fantastical and so smooth and flowing.

That is surprising to me.. this is way choppier than most things I do.. Painter is hard D:

Antja In reply to thundercake [2008-07-29 19:10:21 +0000 UTC]

Choppy could be nice? I've never used Paint, maybe Painter Essentials but never Painter. It scares me... a little.

thundercake In reply to Antja [2008-07-29 19:17:57 +0000 UTC]

It scares me too. The brushes menu baffles me.

Antja In reply to thundercake [2008-07-29 20:40:16 +0000 UTC]

I took one look at the brushes in Painter Essential (which is like a limited version of Painter) and was like 'Fuck no, that's like an acid trip. Shutting this down.'

thundercake In reply to Antja [2008-07-29 21:59:07 +0000 UTC]

They're all based on natural brushes.. they even have "artist brushes" that create a similar brush stroke to famous artists like Sargent and Van Gogh.

thundercake In reply to Spydergirl208 [2008-07-28 18:51:07 +0000 UTC]

I didn't either, this was pretty much my first time using Painter and it's a totally different program. But for this I just picked three colors I liked and slapped em down and they became a tree after a while
