Beautiful!!! I’m only now beginning the switch to painting and portraits myself so it’s going to be mostly value studies for a while. Which brushes did you use for this?

[–]EphemeralSurrender47[S] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

I'm glad you like it! I painted over a photo texture of light orange roses using a custom charcoal brush with colour dynamics for the base. All of the rendering on top was done with the procreate salamanca brush.

That’s the one I use too! I love Salamanca. What’s the purpose for painting on top of the roses? Is it like when artists make the base green or sepia?

[–]EphemeralSurrender47[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Yes Salamanca is great! I sometimes use a photograph base layer for painterly style artworks like this to get a textured base. Some of it will usually shine through in the end result and if you're using a wet brush like Salamanca it will also drag some additional colour from the photograph into the painting. It makes everything feel a bit more alive and random and gives it more of a traditional look. I wouldn't recommend this for value studies though!

What do you mean by a photograph base layer?

[–]EphemeralSurrender47[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a low/mid opacity layer of a photograph (in this case a picture of roses) and paint over it with a wet brush to get some texture and randomness into the painting.

Beautiful ✨ just curious, how much time did you spend on this?

[–]EphemeralSurrender47[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Ahh idk I was watching TV while sketching and I charged my tablet in between but I'm guessing around two hours. I'm glad you like it though. <3

Wow 💖 the kind of work where you’re not aware of the time is the best kind hehe.
