Wow, that’s lovely! Do you know if there is a photoshop tutorial to get this same effect with this image?

Dale –

Thanks for writing! I’m glad to hear the tutorials are helpful.

How long each step takes varies a lot. If you’re just starting out, you’ll take longer than someone who’s been doing it a long time. But just to give you an idea, this whole portrait took me about 3-5 hours.

For watercolors, you want to keep the look “fresh” so don’t overwork it. Less is more with watercolor. Hope that helps!

Bob,

I am just taking up the digital painting craft and find your tutorials very helpful. With this particular piece of art, how long should it take to accomplish “step 1″, and “step 2″. I don’t have a good feel for time.

Thanks for the brushes…

Hi Terry –

Glad you’re finding the tutorials helpful!

Make sure that you move two things into the Brushes folder: a folder and a jpg file. In other words, copy exactly what you downloaded (a folder called Bob’s WC Brushes and a file called Bob’s WC Brushes.jpg) into the Painter brushes folder.

Take a look at the Brushes folder and you’ll see how the other brush variants are installed.

Hope that helps! If not, let me know.

Happy Painting!
Bob

None of the work on my website is digital. I am just starting out and trying to learn Painter 11. I have downloaded your brushes to my computer in documents, unzipped with zip genius and followed the path to the painter 11 brush folder. All the brushes are there and they are jpg, but when I open Painter, they are not on the list of brushes or variants. Do you know how I can get them into painter? I do love your work and the tutorials are helping me. Thanks, Terry
